In a week, my first original novel,The Horrible Bag of Terrible Things, will be unleashed on the world. I'm very excited for you to read about Zenith Maelstrom's terrifying journey through GrahBhag, the hidden world inside the hideous bag.

I thought I'd give you an early introduction to one of the odd denizens of that cursed land — Kreeble the gargoyle. Here is how her appearance is described:

What image does that conjure in your mind? Can you draw it? If so you might win an advanced copy of the book. Look for a tweet from me on Twitter with this same excerpt. I will be asking followers to draw their version of Kreeble. My favorite one (or maybe more than one) will earn the artist a copy of The Horrible Bag signed by me with a sketch of my version of Kreeble included.

If you can't draw, don't worry. I'll be cooking up other ways for subscribers to win goodies.
