I like to have my books printed up in book format. A blogging/author friend of mine told me about this website. LULU

Ben's treasure map
The strange symbols on the back of the map.
The key to cracking the code.
Ben and some character I haven't decided on. I wasn't actually drawing a blind person, but I had trouble with the eye, so I gave him a blindfold. Maybe this will happen in the third book.
The main girls from my Chronicles books.
Left to right: Cassandra Oswald/Siedmen/Cormac/Rapunzel, Celery/Katrina/Cinderella, Astaria Cyriacus/Jasmine, Unnamed girl from a Princess and the Frog retelling, and Snowball Mushroom/Snow White
Front row: Undecided French girl from a Beauty and the Beast retelling.
I wanted to draw something so ignoring my 200+ started books I made up a new story on the spot and drew some pictures.
Left to right: Kidnapped Princess, Vinal, Draith.
Front row: Black Guardian.
I even came up with a synopsis.
Vinal is a Dornelian peasant in the vast Ice World. He knows far more about pigs and sheep than adventures. But when the princess of the Capitol goes missing, the royal guards suddenly appear on the farm searching for the Black Guardian and his family, who they believe is behind the disappearance. To Vinal's surprise, the people he believed were his parents suddenly turn him over. They had discovered him when he was a baby. He has the brand of the traitor on his left foot. Vinal is dragged to the capitol and locked in the secret dungeon of the guardians. For three years he sees on light through a grail, then a new prisoner joins them. Draith is a loud mouth prankster. He teams up with VInal and they escape. The guardians are after them. The only way they can return home is to find the princess. But as their journey progresses Vinal begins to question Draith's identity.
Vinal finds the princess. Draith, not at all excited, sneaks up behind the princess and scares her. After all, what are brothers for?
Draith's identity is revealed when the Boarder Guardians capture him and Vinal. As a suspect and a stranger Vinal is bound, but as a prince of the Capitol Draith is allowed to go free. He was far from pleased.
