Art Contest! Enter to win a free signed copy of The Remnant

Readers, get your pencils, pens, paints or pastels ready! If you have read The Firstborn and The Virus, choose your favorite scene to illustrate. Any medium is acceptable, including digital (except AI generated images). Just create your finest illustration and send the image to nicole@nicoleseitz.com. Three winners will be chosen by merit and two winners by random drawing. Everyone has a chance to win! All entries will be shared on heaventreebooks.com.
Why an art contest? In the House of Heaventree series, Flare Flanagan is an artist who has a most important job of leading a group of creatives who sustain the security of their special campus. As an artist, illustrator and art teacher myself, I know the benefits of creating art and also the lasting impact and importance it can play in our world. In fact, I illustrate the covers of my books! Hope you have fun bringing to life the characters and settings of The Firstborn and The Virus!
Winners will be announced on publication day for The Remnant, Tuesday, May 21, 2024! Happy creating!

I appreciate that you didn't oversimplify things while still keeping it readable. What stood out to me was how you tied the smaller details back to the bigger picture. Anyone looking to take this further might find https://xticketz.com/media/pgs/uncx_listed_in_alchemy_dapp_store_as_a_multi_chain_defi_provider__strengthening_its_web3_tooling_rep.html a useful next read on the subject.
I keep coming back to posts like this because they're genuinely useful rather than filler. You touched on a few things that rarely get discussed but make a real difference in practice. There's a complementary piece I wrote about this at Silk Suite is a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange that adds a bit more context.
