# About me
A published author with rather crude, workmanlike, art skills as a map and technical illustrator for my own series of alternative history/military fiction series, 'Armageddon's Song', and the 'Of Demons & Blue Moons' supernatural thriller series.Anyone with a little imagination can manage basic photo-manipulation, the software does most of the work, but writers need real artists and photographers for book covers, which is why I am here, of course.
I have a hard and fast rule about initial business emails and notes, I do not wait more than 48 hours for a response from an artist, call it a test of reliability, if you will.
If you are serious about doing business you check your email daily, if you are professional in outlook then you are courteous and you reply, even if it is to decline. In my experience, an artist who takes weeks to answer an offer of a paid job will take months, or never, to produce the work they were being paid for.
Fakes and Flakes need not apply.

My apology for my late reply, we have been travelling.
I am very glad that you like the book, and I appreciate your saying so.
While I am waiting for some new artwork for the second in the series I am writing a book of short stories, some of Fae's back-stories including her time as a scout for Alexander the Great; more detail of her complicated relationship with the devil; and the also the cause of her exile.
I have been fortunate enough to gain the the permission of new models, Luana Lani, Natalia Andreeva (seen recently in all the newspapers as Russia's most beautiful World Cup fan); Elle D, and the very petite Julia Yaroshenko, to use their likeness as artists models for other characters, but finding the money to pay those artists is a challenge.
Thank you very much for commenting and I hope you will say nice things on its Amazon page reviews!
Regards
Andy Farman

Thanks a lot for visiting my page! I appreciate every comment/favorite/watch that I receive but most of the times I can be rather slow in replying because of a busy professional life, so forgive me for that.

No worries.
The internet is the enemy of real work so I completely understand.

Thank you for your appreciation of my work and for watching me !
I draw nudes, glamorous figures, sensual portraits and other things like that.
My drawings are only for fun and exclusively done with black pencils.
I would be happy to see you visit my gallery and my profile page !

Thanks, but praise goes to Nathan, Sanju, Ange10 and Piero as I can only write and do the technical stuff, so I assume you are commenting on the commissioned artwork of the sword and sorcery characters.
My aircraft, sword and maps for the military series are not that pretty.
