As the fulfillment for our Book One Kickstarter is close at hand, I have activated the pre-launch page for Book Two: Keeper’s Burden. Although we won’t be ready to publish for some time, I wanted to begin now sharing our upcoming second Kickstarter for the Universal Hardcover edition of Book Two, which will share the same beautiful format as Book One. I will post the pre-launch page link 🔗 in my Bio. If you are interested, head over and follow the page to get notified of our campaign launch when it happens! ✨📚

I stepped away from the studio and its demands for a few days over the holidays, well… sort of. There are always shipments of artwork to monitor this time of year, with delays and such.

In January: The next Kickstarter will soon be on the horizon for Book Two, Keeper’s Burden, and of course I will be waiting with excitement for the first Kickstarter Hardcovers for Book One to arrive at the studio so I can begin the fulfillment. I am looking forward to getting the books out to everyone soon🤗

Work will soon begin in earnest on the-revisions and illustrations for Keeper’s Burden, Book Two of The Stone Guardians. I am quite excited to sink into that work in January. It will be balanced by the fulfillment of the Kickstarter rewards for Book One’s hardcover release.

We plan to get the pre-launch page live for Book Two’s Campaign soon to provide continuity for folks who backed Book One.

I took some photos today of my final proof of the hardcover edition of Book One. Here is the spine and book covers under the dust jacket to share with the Kickstarter backers and all.

I just love how the spine fonts turned out and the colour combination between the lettering, matching ribbon, and blue covers is beautiful. Simple… but rich, blue and gold are so nice together.

I am a discovery writer... What does that mean? Well, I guess you could say that I serve as a conduit for the story and characters to come through into our world. I write as I receive it. Scenes arrive through dreams, or visions, and artwork that I create, with the characters fully formed and just needing me to describe them.

“There must be more to it than that,” you say.

And you are right, there is, especially in the proofing and revision rounds as I ask myself critically, does this scene make sense?

Essentially though, much of the time, I am pretty much reading the story as I write it.

The characters of Rowan and Torrin were like real people I have met. They arrived fully formed with backstories, pasts, some of it tragic, and their own hang-ups and issues to overcome.

Much of my process to created these two main characters also came through the process of drawing of their portraits. The two illustrations featured here in this post are perhaps my very favorite of them. The descriptions of their armour and features in the first book came into intensely sharp focus as I began to draw them.

Not only that, but the style for all of the illustrations for the books completely solidified with the creation of these two drawings.

If you love diving into characters, you can find the longer descriptions of them in the blog post on my website. (link in bio) BTW so love this music… feels like Rowan’s theme.

My favorite books have all been ones where the book and pages, the lines of text disappear as the world and it’s characters come to life in my mind, unfolding like a beautiful dream.

The greatest books stay with you long after you put them down, characters and their struggles, archetypes, and triumphs, linger as the poignant moments and pivotal action refuses to fade.

A charged first meeting between the two main characters… a dark, tangled wilderness, a lonely campfire and a shattered assumption.

Seeing the drawings full-bleed on the pages is so thrilling! It is my sincere hope that their storied style will lend gravitas and beauty to the novel for readers. My hardcovers have been printed and are shipping out next week and I am very excited to get them into the hands of new readers and Backers for the Kickstarter campaign!

I love world building! I have spent so many hours imagining and creating the layers and ancient histories that provide context to my characters and landscapes. Here is some of the ancient and forgotten history of Eryos.

Mostly lost to history now in Eryos–the twin empires of Kathornin and Trilium were once mighty and prosperous realms. They spanned the width and breadth of Eryos, boasting grand cities and networks of roads for commerce and trade.

Only remnants of knowledge survive now, in scattered texts, disintegrating scrolls, and ancient tomes, their pages faded, bindings moldering in forgotten archives or library basements. Their pages, if they can be still be read–for few can now speak the dead languages–tell of grand buildings, advanced governments, and an integration of the varied races unheard of in Eryos now.

The collapse came slowly at first, as the wealth from the ancient mines in the Timor Mountains declined, and the storied ‘red-gold’ deposits were exhausted. The merchant class was eroded as the elite aristocracy held tightly to their riches.

Rebellion stirred as the poorer classes struggled to survive.

When revolution came, it came with thunder, spreading like wildfire through tinder-dry forests. In the aftermath it seemed that a new civilization would arise, one with equality and wealth for all. And perhaps there was for a time. No accounts now exist to explain what happened to destroy those fragile republics.

What is known from a handful of surviving texts, is that the races turned on one another, and the unity and diversity of the empires–their true wealth–was lost, as men, Rithkind, and Tynithians, stopped trusting one another, and scattered to their respective strongholds.

Darkness descended as the peoples of Eryos lived in small insular clans and tribes. Peace became a myth, a half remembered daydream from a distant time and place. Of the empires, their wealth and knowledge survived only in sheltered pockets.

The rest was destroyed, lost to the ravages of war and desperation.

The maps or Eryos and Myris Dar…
What do you like about fantasy maps? I love the world-building. As the characters journey across a landscape, it is so satisfying to imagine the places and where they are in the realm and how the different environments affect one another.

A few process images of early stages and the final illustrations. The one with Torrin and his Warhorse will be in Book Two: Keeper’s Burden which I will be releasing in the matching second edition hardcover form of The Messenger From Myris Dar soon - hopefully in the spring of 2026. Looking forward to diving into the new illustrations for this one. The book is already written, just some revisions and thorough copy edits to get it ready for its new release.

Settle in… this is a long one, but also a celebration of a creative life. I am so fortunate to live in such a beautiful place in the Okanagan Valley of BC, and it plays a huge part of fueling and recharging my creative inspiration. … and yes, that is Oreo, our sweet rescue and my ever-present studio manager🤎

Well, the Kickstarter campaign is a wrap and my first print run of the new Hardcovers has been ordered complete with sewn binding and a ribbon! There is still a lot to do over the next month and a half to get the books sent out to backers along with all the extras.

For now though, I am going to take some time to rest and recharge. I must honestly say that I am quite exhausted from the Kickstarter rollercoaster of launch, promotion and managing it all.

🤎to everyone who helped me promote and encouraged me along the way. I am super grateful for your support!

The original oil painting that became my cover for Book One…. This piece was almost entirely repainted in a more detailed style with the backdrop of Pellaris under siege.

Swipe through to see some of the process videos and photos of the painting as it takes shape. There is only one of the final finished work. Can you guess which one?

I wanted to convey Rowan’s strength and skill but more than that, her courage… she is alone amidst the chaos yet with an expression of determination and clarity.

The Kickstarter for the new hardcover edition of Book One is still available through this weekend. Check it out through the link in my bio.

Imagine opening a copy of your book to discover a beautiful hand-drawn illustration on the front end page and fly leaf - an expansive drawing of a landscape of Eryos, a scene from the book or a special item like a sword or shield.

It begins with a feeling…
The world building process is a rich and varied tapestry of creative output. From sculptures (some of which become bronze), to quick sketches and the more detailed illustrations (some of which get discarded completely because they do not evoke the feeling I want to convey). And then comes the oil paintings, in which I have been striving to capture the essence and depth of the characters.

Many of the scenes arrive during long walks or drives, or the time just before sleep arrives. They come fully formed with many of the nuances already present. And maybe that is because I am an artist as well as an author, but needless to say the writing feels more like a recording what flows into my experience.

The process of revision and editing can feel like being immersed in the story with the characters and action, and my job is to make it as clear as I possibly can.

As the layers and landscapes become more and more clear and the characters drive the story within those places, I can’t help but feel wonder as the books and story take on a life of their own.

Please visit our #kickstarter for the first Hardcover Edition of Book One of The Stone Guardians (link in my bio) to support this project and order your copy of the book, or learn more. The campaign runs until October 20th

A few of the not so perfectly framed shots from a recent flatlay photo shoot of the proof copy of the book and several of the illustrations. But even though these are not showing the cover really well or the drawings, they have so much of the mood and atmosphere I just love. 💕

What is it in the fulfillment of a creative process and the outcome of our dreams that holds such power for us? As creatives, we cannot be satisfied by money alone, the urge to create, iterate, envision and feel our hands and minds engaged in that process is in our blood. It is ignored at the peril of our well-being, and our health. The satisfaction of seeing a project become reality, of being immersed in that velvety, infinite moment of creating is our reason why.

I love writing and creating books and artwork, I will do it until I die🦋
