Hello Again, Blog

So it's been a little while since I've posted on here, which means it is time for a massive update blog. I think it would be best to just make a list about what has been happening art wise lately with me, so here it goes!

• "Serpentine Dreams" has been featured in 69 Flavors of Paranoia's Menu 17 (http://69fop.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=377&Itemid=7)
• Filigree gave me a spread in Issue 3. You can purchase it here: http://www.magcloud.com/browse/issue/391200
• Slickzine did a great write-up on my work (http://slickzine.com/art/lindsay-beach-lets-her-inner-most-feelings-take-control/)
• I did an interview for The Artfuls (http://www.theartfuls.com/interviews/lindsay_beach)
• I'm working on a poster for the Etheria Festival in Massachusetts, which will be held in September. It is a festival for women in sci-fi and fantasy. 
• And, I finally finished my tree woman! I will post a good picture of her soon. 

Alright! Phew, that was a lot more than I remembered it being. I should probably get back to posting blog posts more frequently. And yesterday I finally got to the beach for the first time since summer started. It was awesome. Can't wait to get back there again.

First Published Bookcover

So my first published book cover is out now on Amazon.com, Itunes, and Barnes & Noble's website! The book is entitled The Forbidden Bean, and is the first book of AJ Tillock's Grinding Reality series.

Here's the cover, and synopsis:

When lifelong misfit and coffee store manager Tee Rutledge investigates a hidden bag of coffee beans, she disregards the warning label and accidentally swallows one. Consumption of the bean temporarily transports most of her thinking, rational self into the body of an insect, but just enough of her is left behind to allow operation of her human body on auto-pilot. Her existence becomes wildly complicated because once she is whole again she has no memory of her behavior as a human during that time.

While Tee temporarily inhabits the body of a fly, a cockroach or a spider, she inadvertently flies under the radar of her fellow humans and unwittingly becomes privy to dangerous knowledge she otherwise would not have but which compels her unwillingly into heroic action.

Soon she is on the trail of a ragtag group of Eastern Europeans involved in gun-running and human trafficking; her long absent father walks back into her life to warn her away from pursuing them; and a serial killer feels the sting of her unique brand of justice.

Addicted to the magic beans but also teetering on the edge of sanity, Tee begins to embrace the power she discovers within herself as well as the undaunted courage of her superhero alter ego.
