ROBERT JORDAN, MIKE S. MILLER LAUNCH NEW LITHOGRAPH SERIES AND WEBSITE

Robert Jordan, #1 New York Times best selling author, and one of the most widely regarded fantasy writers of all time strikes a deal with comic book and fantasy artist Mike S. Miller to produce a line of lithographs based off of his best-selling beloved fantasy series, 'The Wheel of Time'.

"I am very much looking forward to working on this project with Mike Miller, a truly spectacular artist.", Jordan proclaimed. Jordan and Miller have worked together before on the comic adaptation of 'New Spring' for Red Eagle Entertainment and Dabel Brothers Production.

"I couldn't be more excited to be the guy that gets to play in Mr. Jordan's sandbox," said Miller, "It's such a rich and vivid world, with imagery that just begs to be brought to life through art." And that's exactly what Miller plans to do. With his first offering, Miller asked 'Wheel of Time' fans what was their favorite scene from the first Wheel of Time book, 'The Eye of the World'. "It was overwhelming, the fans wanted to see the last battle of the Manetheren, as was described by Moiraine Damodred early in the novel. Easy for me to agree with, it was my favorite as well..." Miller added. It was from Moiraine's description that the lithograph got it's title, 'Sing of Manetheren'.

The timing couldn't be better. As Jordan criss-crosses the country on his new-release tour for his 11th book in the popular Wheel of Time series, 'Knife of Dreams', it seems promotion and awareness of the series is at a fever pitch. "It's a great time to put the first Litho out there," continued Miller, "hopefully it will be 1/1,000th as well received as Mr. Jordan's work. He has millions of loyal fans that are hard to please, but since it's his vision first and foremost, just knowing that I've gotten his approval means everything to me."

In addition to the effort Miller has put into his art, he has also been hard at work with his webmaster, Martin Oakley of Bloodstained productions, to have an online venue through which he can promote and sell this among other lithographs that he has produced.

WWW.FIREBRANDFANTASYART.COM officially launches Thursday, December 1st with a special one-time-offer of 10% off all lithographs, including 'Sing of Manetheren' and free shipping for orders made on or before December 10th.

Other lithographs available from www.firebrandfantasyart.com feature artwork from George R. R. Martin's NYTimes best selling 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series; Among other original artwork from Miller's long standing comic book career
