My first book’s on kickstarter!
“…A cackleberry is a wondrous thing. Strange, to be sure, but wondrous just the same. They are friends of rot, re-claimers of damp wood and molding stone. Thin tendrils pale as waterlogged fingers push up from carpets of matted leaves and rise from the forest floor. A swelling, a blooming, a beginning. A cackleberry is a rare occurrence. Some liken them to mushrooms, or puffballs, while others think them more similar to flower buds. Either way, they are said to hold the dreams of the forest. This particular cackleberry grew in the shadow of an oak snag. It glowed softly, pulsing to the rhythm of decaying oak roots. Held tight within its shell was a small girl. She had spent a thousand days cloaked in black dirt and cradled by oak roots. She had swum through places beneath the forest floor, friend to the mycelium that threaded the dirt like stars. Then she had been drawn above. Now her world split open. Something wondrous was about to happen.”
This is the story of a girl, who finds herself in an unknown wood. A girl who dares to look for the choice not offered. The story follows Oona as she journeys through the Scraggle Wood looking for a way to fulfill her heart’s desire. It is, of course, a fairy tale, though a bit of an odd one.

TODAY’S THE DAY! For the next few weeks, my complete Flight and Flame Trilogy consisting of SWIFT, NOMAD and TORCH will be available in ebook for just $4.99!
I am so thrilled and grateful to @enclavepublishing that I got to finish this trilogy after years of wistful dreaming — not to mention impassioned pleas from readers longing to know what would happen to Ivy and Martin next! You were right to believe there was more to their story and I’m so glad to be able to share the whole of Ivy’s surprising, mysterious, adventurous, romantic and life-changing adventure with you. Thanks to all of you who’ve read and loved the series and recommended it to other fantasy readers as well!
If you HAVEN’T read the books yet, this is a great deal and it’s not going to last forever, so please check it out here!

I was commissioned to do an illustration for a book cover. Here is a close up on the completed painting! My focus is animals in my art (real/fantasy) but it was fun to branch out and do this piece. If you are interested in a commission by me just shoot me a message.
