Ways to Enter the World

The Latest on Instagram

One of my favourite parts of documenting the artwork that goes into the books is creating flat lay compositions. Join me in the studio for this latest photo shoot.

The works featured in the video are concept sketches and character studies, the original painting that is featured on the cover of Book Two: Keeper’s Burden, and works in progress for a few of the illustrations that will go into Book Two and Three.

There’s even a small bronze sculpture. Can you spot Arynilas?

The Kickstarter for Book Two runs until Aug 3rd. You can find the link in my bio.

All things The Stone Guardians….

This was a fun photo shoot with the multiple ways the characters, landscapes and objects of The Stone Guardians come to life.

Bringing the world to life through not only the novels, but also drawing, painting,and sculpture.

There are multiple points of entry into the world I am creating: fine art and the illustration work created for each book, being the story to life in ways the words alone do not.

I love it all and there is no way I could choose only one medium.

Come join me in the world. The Kickstarter for Book Two of The Stone Guardians runs throughout the month. Backers will get their name in the acknowledgment section of the book! The link is in my bio.

I am not just creating fantasy books, I am creating an entire body of work. Come and join me in the world…

As a fine artist, as well as an author, I cannot just stop at writing the words on the page. The world, the characters, the story, all demand to be manifested in other ways.

The #Kickstarter for Book Two: Keeper’s Burden is now live. You can find the link in my bio. It is a pleasure to share it with you!

Coming up for some air... it has been an intense few days. Whew!
I am happy to share that the #kickstarter campaign for Book Two of the Stone Guardians is now 90% of the way toward its funding goal! Yay!
My heartfelt thanks to past backers and new alike who are helping me bring this project to life. There are still a few hours to get in on the early discounts for the signed hardcovers, and Keeper's Box bundle.
Our campaign for Book Two is modest, yet once funded it will go a long way to helping me pay for the custom hardcover print run of Book Two. As an artist as well as an author, it is so gratifying to see the books in my series getting produced in a high-quality format with so many illustrations throughout. I absolutely love what I do. As a relatively established fine artist, it is a little daunting and a challenge to be starting from scratch as an indie author. But ultimately it is worth it because this illustrated fantasy novel series doesn't just consist of books. That is only one aspect of it, what I am creating is an entire body of work grounded in this world, its characters and story.
Come and join me in that world and see what it is all about. For anyone new to The Stone Guardians, there are some special 2-book sets of first and second books in the series as well.

A little spotlight on some of the illustrations taking shape for Book Two of The Stone Guardians.

I will be working on an entire suite of at least 30 drawings to be published as full-page Images in Keeper’s Burden. I am pretty excited to dive into that work once our #kickstarter campaign has been launched to fund the publishing and print run for the custom hardcover of this book.

Check out the link in my bio for the Kickstarter page, which goes live tomorrow!

The burden was never meant for her… at least that was what she thought.

She is the first of her people to walk these streets in centuries, and every choice she makes defies tradition.

Every step draws scrutiny.

As an ancient darkness stirs beyond the mountains, the cost of standing against it is more than she could have imagined.

Keeper’s Burden is an illustrated epic fantasy for readers drawn to character depth, mystery, and prophecy unfolding against a rising mythic threat.

Book Two launches July 4th on Kickstarter in a custom hardcover edition crafted for collectors. Follow the pre-launch page and be part of the first printing.

The matching custom hardcover of Book One will also be available through the campaign.

How important is world building to you as a fantasy reader?

History, myths and legends, how landscapes have changed, weather patterns and their effects on the cultures in books are some of the essential aspects of solid world building that helps to deepen the immersive quality of a fantasy book series. As a fine artist as well as a fantasy author, it is such a pleasure to be able to bring my characters and world to life visually. I have sculpted, drawn and painted them into existence every bit as much as the words on the page. It is one of my favourite things about creating books.

Illustrated novels are not very common but it adds so much layered richness to the experience of reading!

Question: How do you separate art creation and writing?

Answer: I don’t!

For me as a creator, the two are inextricably linked, and the universe I’m building requires immersion in both. The characters, the landscapes, the myths and history are all cross-pollinated and enriched with both. As words tumble onto the page, so too do the visions and scenes manifest as drawings, paintings and sculpture.

When I began writing these books, I never imagined what an incredible journey it would become creatively, and to this day, it is still growing. There is so much work still ahead to see these books created in the format and with the quality I envision, but it is my bliss and my joy, and I look forward to sharing it with you in all of its creative iterations.

Hi I’m Kindrie Grove, fantasy author and illustrator of The Stone Guardians, my epic, illustrated fantasy book series. Book Two: Keeper’s Burden is set to launch on #kickstarter in only a few weeks! I am really excited to see this second book in the series completed in the same hardcover format as book one, with a sewn binding, a ribbon, marker, and custom spine fonts and covers.

If you are new to the series, and you like epic, immersive, and character driven high fantasy, with a strong female main character, a slow burn, no spice, love story, themes of found family, band of heroes, prophecy and mystery, swords, magic, and mythical creatures, then these books might be for you!

You can find a free download of the first 30 pages of book one through my newsletter, the link is in my bio, with both maps, legend, prologues, and the first two chapters in the full immersive layout with the illustrations. It is a great way to begin the story and see how the characters all meet for the first time.

Hint: it’s in the wilderness at night… A Stranger in the Wilds. Spoiler alert! They assume she’s a he.

You can also find the Kickstarter pre-launch page link for Book Two in my bio, so make sure you check that out and follow to get notified as soon as we go live.

The original painting that became the cover for Book Two: Keeper’s Burden.

I will be totally honest… this painting took me a long time and there are still details and work I want to do in the background and the characters faces. But something amazing happened when I was painting it—a sense of the essence and truth of these two people came to life under my brush strokes. The painting is large and the characters are almost life-sized, making them feel like they live epically in our own world.
