Last, but not least, artist Liana Kerr (responsible for all the amazing art designs in the Queens of the Sea series during the tour), and the always delightful vvb32 Reads, got to some gleeful plotting to unveil a bonus design.


There was also a Message in a Bottle, special surprise message at the bottom of every Parting Glass wrap day post, and nearly each and every one of the lovely bloggers above were in on it - bad girls! (Delighted.)


Shown above: Sasha Soren, Pirate Queen
Artist: Liana Kerr


Very touched. Thank you for working together and for also coming up with this amazing surprise. Just gobsmacked, but in the most wonderful way.


Here is the lovely bonus design, and the Message in a Bottle texts can be read at the bottom of each Parting Glass post, please feel free to visit to see how well-coordinated  and totally together everyone was. 


Rascals.
