The place to submit your piece? Email it here.

But what, oh what should I do?  How about an Illuminated Manuscript (at top) or an illustrated scene from the books:

Write a memory.

Or a haiku–like Jeannie Patton’s “PaiKu” for Pirate King:

Peg leg is a pain

Reeling around deck in storm

Would kill for two feet.

An alternative cover?

Or what about joining in with a Russellscape?
