Candy Jar Author and (sort of) founder member, Terry Cooper is currently doing the artwork for "Dr. Who Meets The Scorpion: The Making of a Fan Film" by Phillip Roy. This will not be a Candy Jar release, but just thought you might be interested.

It's here! Thank you @candyjarbooks.bsky.social!

A book entitled The Lucy Wilson mysteries, troubles in time. The title is at the top of the cover and the authors' names, Chris Lynch and Lucy McCaul, are at the bottom. The cover shows a black, starry sky with yellow swirls. It has a giant winged slug and a giant green worm with teeth above and below the face of a biracial girl, with a red hat with little ears on, and the face of a white boy. The boy has alopecia.
