The second edition of Lost in Lexicon, written by Penny Noyce, made its debut just this week. The book, featuring a new cover, is the first in a series of four "Lexicon" adventures that will be published by Scarletta Press.
It's been just about a year since I finished the illustrations for the first edition, which came out in Fall of 2010 under the Tumblehome Press imprint. It was an auspicious beginning for first-time author Penny Noyce; the book received glowing reviews, won several awards, and then, to top it all off, was chosen to serve as the debut novel for Scarletta's new line of books for children.
Now the fun begins again - we're off and running on the second installment in the series: The Ice Castle. Penny has turned in the final draft of the manuscript and I've finished the first round of sketches and have made a tentative start on the cover. The Ice Castle will be published in the Fall of 2012.

Illustration Friday - Stay
This little character has been floating around in my head for awhile. This week's topic -Stay - seemed like the perfect opportunity to bring her to life.

The Ice Castle
I've just started working on the preliminary sketches for The Ice Castle, the second in the "Lexicon" series of middle grade mystery/adventures written by Pendred Noyce. It's exciting to be revisiting characters from the first book, Lost in Lexicon, and to create new ones, like Daphne and Ivan's cousin, Lila. The series (there will be four books in all) is published by Scarletta Press.
