Of all the milestones in Wranglestone’s journey since publication, I’m probably most excited and proud of this new edition. In advance of the books’ sequel next year, Wranglestone’s been completely rebranded and illustrated by industry superstar, Karl James Mountford. There are so many directions a book could be driven towards. With it’s mash-up of various genres, this is probably particularly true of something like Wranglestone. But in Karl, I knew I’d found a kindred spirit and someone who understood not only the novel’s numerous story elements and American midwest setting, but, in the romance between Peter and Cooper, its hope and heart.
