Rowan Mayfair?!

No. This is not Mary Ann with the pot Rowan with the Mayfair emerald.

I just watched Almost Famous and couldn't help myself. Sue me.

This piece of NightCafe sunshine is based upon one of my own characters. This is close to the kind of cameos I wanted to see if I could come up with that feature a tiny version of the Mayfair emerald necklace.

This character of mine, by the way, predates the publication of The Witching Hour.
