With Christmas almost upon us, I'm delighted to be able to share with you one of my favourite fan drawings of 2019. This was sent to me a while ago by Amity Lee, and is a re-working of a famous Totoro picture, inspired by my short novel Koyasan. I've shared Amity Lee's artwork here before, and it's always impressive, but this... this is absolutely gorgeous. In fact I love it so much, I made it the wallpaper on my computer, replacing a photo of myself and Dante which has graced my screen for the last few years!

If any of you are unfamiliar with Koyasan, you can find out a lot more about it in my author notes for the book over on my web site: https://www.darrenshan.com/books/details/koyasan

It was released in translated editions in many countries around the world. The eBook of the English edition is on sale through Amazon and other similar ebook sellers worldwide, and if you prefer books that you can hold, you should be able to get hold of a physical copy easily enough if you do some searching on the net.

My latest Darren Dash novel for adults, the fast-paced and twist-packed noir thriller, Molls Like It Hot, is on sale though Amazon stores worldwide NOW, either as a paperback or ebook. To find out more, click here: www.darrendashbooks.com

And my annual Christmas short story, SHANTA CLAUS, is back again on my website for the duration of the yuletide period -- read it swiftly before it vanishes into the internet ether for another year! https://www.darrenshan.com/extras
