Have you heard of SHANTOBER?!?

Yeah, it's a thing!!!

In a nutshell, a few talented, ambitious ("Crazy?!? Don't call me crazy, hmm?!?") Shansters set themselves the task of drawing characters from my book EVERY day of October!!

I only know of one who actually completed the challenge -- step forward Steph Bral Ross and take a well-deserved bow!!!!

I've inclued a few of Steph's drawings below, and attached all 31 of them to a post on Facebook, which you can access here: https://www.facebook.com/darrenshanverified/posts/pfbid0vf6hpHJbBJrkUFazDmRdPcQ5Vu1FdctEmTXmL6xpREgHExv5hZdngrtjrVm3TwA9l

I'd strongly advise having a look at all of them. One might think, given the size of the challenge, that they would be little more than rough scribbles, hasty sketches designed to get Steph over the finishing line without overly exhausting her in the process.

One would be wrong!!!!

These are fabulous, each and every one of them. PLEASE look at them all, and if you enjoy them as much as I have, PLEASE share some love with Steph, as that's the only reward she's going to get -- nobody ever said that doing Shantober would pay any bills!!!
