I'm Skye, a freelance artist who does covers for sci fi, fantasy, romance and erotica novels. I have also been known to do the occasional comic book cover. Currently, I am the Art Director and primary cover artist for Mundania Press. In the past have done covers for Loose Id, Ellora's Cave, Cerridwen Press, Draumr Publishing and Brighid's Fire Books.
I also do commission work and, based on my workload, am usually available for hire. Drop me an email at skyewolf@skyewolfimages.com if you're interested.

St pats
An Irish prayer
May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.
Life does not give us a heads up when it is about to end. Tell those you love how you feel,today,tomorrow and everyday. It could prevent a suicide.A big hug with a side of kisses is always welcome.
In the old days, it was not called the Holiday Season; the Christians called it 'Christmas' and went to church; the Jews called it 'Hanukkah' and went to synagogue; the atheists went to parties and drank. People passing each other on the street would say 'Merry Christmas!' or 'Happy Hanukkah!' or (to the atheists) 'Look out for the wall!' Dave Barry
