I thought you guys might like a sneak peek at a poster (rardin_series_poster.pdf) that  Hachette Australia put together for a Jaz Parks promotion there.  My brilliantly observant fan Tez, brought it to my attention, telling me she saw it hanging in a bookstore.  So I was able to get a PDF copy to show you all.  [...]
