A hugely talented Shanster called Amity Lee is taking part in Inktober, posting a drawing every day of the month, each one based on a word from a prompt list and a character from my Cirque Du Freak books. You can find the first three drawings below, of Darren, Mr Tall and Mika Ver Leth. If you want to follow the course of her drawings throughout the rest of the month -- as I certainly will be doing -- you can find them on her Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/_amitylee_/ or follow her on Twitter: @homeinOrbis

Personally, I'm absolutely rubbish at art -- but I do think I knock together a decent monthly newletter! :-) You can find the October issue online now, with all the latest Shan news and updates, plus a COMPETITION that fans of my Demonata books will NOT want to miss! https://www.darrenshan.com/news/shanville-monthly/
