Beyond Bree 2020 Calendar is available!

After six months of learning the ropes, contacting artists, designing the layout (in a new-to-me software program) and lots of proofreading, the Beyond Bree Calendar for 2020 is in print and shipping to those who have placed orders. I just got mine today, and it looks really good! (I am not biased. Nancy did a great job getting these printed, the quality is really high.)

I'll just list all of the artwork here, if someone else less involved wouldn't mind posting their impressions that would be much appreciated.

I'd like to thank all of the artists (some returning having contributed art to previous Beyond Bree calendars under other editors, and some contributing here for the first time) for their wonderful support and putting up with my learning curve. I think the final product is exactly what I was hoping it would be, and I hope those of you who purchase it are also satisfied. The print run is limited to ~100 copies, and in previous years has sold out before Christmas - don't delay too long if you are interested.
