In Case You’re the Kind Who Likes to Keep a Joke Around

Dandelion Fire
Well, here is the cover art for the next one. One minor problem is that Random House has delayed the release slightly. Oh, well. The good news is that this is one is not a page turner only because you find yourself clutching the book too tightly to turn anything.
