Checking in to show of some great new Fan art.

Love this one by Kara!
Oh, and I even recieved an awesome poem by Jamie
Nevermore: The Ballad of Varen and Isobel: by Jamie
What first began as his escape
To a world of his own
Became a snare for both of them
In the pages of a tome
For Varen is lost from the world
And the one that he holds dear
But he knows that she will come back
To the lonely world of Weir
Isobel, you must save the one you love
For you must make things right
Isobel, you must uphold your promise
For you he waits each night
By his side, the lady in white
Wants him for herself to keep
But it’s only his Isobel
In his heart so very deep
The world forgets, and lets go
But Isobel won’t give up
She knows he waits, lost in that world
And all that he has is her love
Isobel, you must save the one you love
For you must make things right
Isobel, you must uphold your promise
For you he waits each night
It’s only you who can rescue him
You must open up the door
If you should fail, or can find no way
Varen shall be nevermore
And below is a GREAT rendering of the creeptastic Mr. Pinfeathers himself by Ronni Y
Oh and hey, Check out CeAirra’s Tattoo!!!!
Okay, so some of you know I like to doodle a bit myself. One of my favorite things to do is draw my characters! Here are some sketches from the past.
You know what else I like to do with my Nevermore sketches? I love to doodle them on the title page of give-away copies for contests.
Oh and LOOK-IT what else!!
Paperbacks are in!
Aren’t they lovely?? To celebrate, let’s do another contest. How about you send me a LINK to a drawing by YOU of your favorite character from Nevermore and I will draw that same character for YOU inside a brand new paperback copy of Nevermore. (I will also, of course, sign and personalize if you like.) In addition, I’ll throw in some other goodies as well, like signed bookmarks and a Varen purple pen!
If drawing isn’t your thing, you can also enter photographs or computer generated images, poems or songs. As long as the artwork is original, yours COMPLETELY and features a character (or characters) from Nevermore, it qualifies!
If you’d like to enter, please be sure to send a link to your drawing or art piece (not attaching the drawing/work/photo itself) to kellycreagh@kellycreagh.com.
Facebook or DeviantART are great places to post your artwork.
Also in your e-mail, you will want to include your full name and mailing address so I’ll know where to send your goodies should you win!
And to top that off, inside the paperback, at the very end, you will find the prologue to Enshadowed! Woot!
Those of you who have already sent me wonderful artwork may enter with the same drawing. You will, however, need to resubmit.
Please make sure the words PAPERBACK CONTEST appear in the subject line of your e-mail submission.
To determine the winner, I will print all entries and hand draw ONE lottery style.
This time, the contest is open to U.S. entries only.
The contest will end at midnight on the 29th of August, the day before the release of Nevermore in paperback.
So get those creative juices flowing!
I will announce the winner on the 30th and post his or her drawing/artwork here on my blog. I will also post as many of the other entries as I can!










Hey Kelly….will you be doing any contests for us unartistic fans??
I LOVED Nevermore. I think it was the only book I gave five stars to on Amazon all year. I can’t wait for Enshadowed!! If you do any contests for ARCs I will be beyond excited to enter.
Hey Sarah,
You don’t *HAVE* to be artistic to enter. If you drew a stick figure of Varen, you’d be entered. HOWEVER, I’m a firm believer that everyone is creative to some degree. Can you think of anything? Can you snatch the chalkboard at school while your teacher’s not looking and do a quick doodle? That’s creative in terms of the where and how. Just remember, if you win, I’m posting the winning entry on the blog, so make sure it’s something you don’t mind sharing with the world! Sand sculptures. There’s another good idea. Chalk drawing on the driveway, photograph of a friend dressed as one of the characters, chewing gum sculpture. It would be cool to see costume pieces, like Varen’s jacket, too.
Hmmmm….since I’m thirty years old the school thing might now work out!
lol….BUT I do have plenty of sidewalk chalk thanks to my kids loving it. I’ll see what I can come up with!
thanks for replying!
Hi!
What about making a book trailer? Would that count?
Hey Sarah,
That sounds awesome! I can’t wait to see what you come up with!
And Kiki,
I thought about book trailers and would love to see those. However, I’m going to ask that you limit the content of the trailer to video/photos/music of your own creation. Since I’m asking for original drawings/paintings etc, I think it’s only fair that book trailers would need to be made from original material as well. If that’s your plan, go for it!
Thanks!
The 29th of August?? Oh, that doesn’t leave me that much time (I’m slow worker, lol). Varen is my favorite character, but I think I’ll go with Isobel because she’s easier for me to draw.
This is so awesome of you, Kelly! Whoever wins will be so lucky. I can’t wait for Enshadowed to come out!
Hey Cris,
Yes I know it’s a quick one this time! Can’t wait to see!
Darn, why is this US only??
I live in Canada & would love to submit something 
My daughter & I LOVED Nevermore!! She read it in 2 days & the kid rarely reads!!!! She was so inspired she started reading a lot of Poe stories! We even went to the Vertigo Theater here in our city when they had a play called “Nevermore” all about Poe! It was AMAZING & blew us both away!!!!
Thank you for being an inspiration to both of us!!! We can’t wait for the next book!!!!!!

Nevermore has been in my top 5 favorite books list since the first time I’d read it! I love it soooo much! It’s very unique!
Hey! At first I didn’t really like this contest becuase I thought it was only drawings and I am not a very good artist. Well, I decided I do my best anyway (Anything to win Nevermore.). Then my sister said that poems are allowed so now I am totally doing that!
~Kyla : )
Pity it’s only opened to US citizens
Sounded like my type of contest.
So,….I have uploaded an entry on Facebook. what do I do?
well, if you can, visits me on teh facebook by me REAL name,Lesley Morales if so.
Hi Kelly! I just wanted to stop by to say I loved nevermore. It is and always will be my favorite book no matter what. I entered the contest but to whoever wins I say good luck and congrats!
Hey Kelly,Loved Nevermore and it really inspired me to continue on with my own work “The Rising”. Thanks for the inspiration can’t wait for your next book!
Hi Kelly!
I really really loved your book ^^
And I sooooo can’t wait for Enshadowed !!!
But… I read Nevermore from a friend (ebook version), And loved it soooo very much that I went to my usual bookstore to order it !
I went with the hardcover version… and Now I’m really wondering if I made a mistake… is there any additional features (Like from Enshadowed ???) in the paperback version ?
I could try to change the order if there are… I really should have thought it more, or ask before…
Do you know everything about it ?
I’m from Québec, Canada so it’s very hard for me to find a copy and peek on it XD
Thank you very much for your time !
