Getting my Nano Timewasters out of the way earlier

[jana_denardo]

First off, here's my cover done by evil_little_dog THANK YOU. I am doing a sequel to The Darkest Midnight in December, Snowbound and A Brief Respite so it'll be the return of my 1930s demon hunters, Caleb, Temple and Agni. (You may have to click on the picture to see it in full thanks to the LJ layout I have)



And for fun, I worked up some character sheets for the boys plus Temple's new partner. Since they are long, I'll put them under the cut. Thanks to winters_queen for the template for this.
