Following the Inspiration
"
My work is play!
Inspiration drives me. I move between projects and mediums as they require attention. My writing informs my artwork and vice versa.
I am continually amazed by the joys of a creative life.
This fantasy novel and illustration project has grown hugely, now encompassing multiple novels, two companion sketchbooks and an ever-expanding collection of illustrations, paintings and sculpture.
I am excited to share this world and its beloved characters with you as evolves.

About the Coming Kickstarter
Dear Reader,
Some stories stay with you forever. The Messenger From Myris Dar Book One of The Stone Guardians series is one of those stories for me. It came to me in my dreams, unfolding like an epic tale waiting to be told. These characters and their story arrived fully formed and demanding to be told.
I have spent years crafting this world—not just in words but in delicately drawn illustrations, rich with soft layers of detail, evoking a classic, storied feel.
Now, I’m bringing something truly special to fantasy lovers: Collector's Limited-Edition Hardcovers of the books, beginning with Book One, The Messenger from Myris Dar, launching in September on Kickstarter.
