It's Kella and Qaree, two of my POV characters in The Ninth Door! They're both Spell Crafters, mages who specialize in designing new ways to use magic.

Some line art I worked on this morning. I like the carefree vibe of this piece. It's Vienna and Pen from my book, The Kissing Moon. #indieauthor #fairytale #lineart

Still working on flat colors, but 2 of 3 characters done! #wip

Jiji is making sure I don’t stop tying my chapters. He is a stern manager. #writing #indieauthor

The #WIP continues! We have lines and part of the flat colors done this week.

Great day at the Fall Author Fair hosted by Huxley and Hiro! #indiewriter 📚🪐

#WIP of my girls from The Ninth Door!

Another ghostly picture for the season - this is Evanna and Zare from Bound by Briar, my Beauty and the Beast retelling where the unseen servants are ghosts . . . and one of them gets the girl!

My short story "Wings of Water" is part of a free story promotion this month! If you want a peek into the world of The Ninth Door, here's your chance . . . books.bookfunnel.com/october-fant...

It's October, so I must post pictures of my favorite ghost, Zare, the unassuming phantom cook of my Beauty and the Beast Retelling, Bound by Briar. This ballroom scene was inspired by "Once Upon a December" in the movie Anastasia.

Concept art for mage component belts in The Ninth Door - all spells need material components in this world, so the mages carry them in special belts to be ready at any time.

From The Ninth Door, Monk Daysu un'Tell and his adorable pet, Urtee. She's a co'elldah pup, and will someday grow into a serpentine, feathered dragonlike creature. Right now she's just freaking cute 😍 #booksky #writer #fantasy #writesky 📚📚

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

From my upcoming epic fantasy novel . . . 📚🪐

Here's the finished piece from yesterday!

Doodle of Zaexi, a quirky, kick-ass mercenary in my upcoming release, The Ninth Door. Love her so much 😁 I hope you will too!

Another illustration for my new book coming in September! It's a pleasant day shopping with Neqarra, Kella, and Qaree (you know, before I toss them into mortal peril and all those good epic fantasy things). 😜

Sketch from my WIP book, The Ninth Door. Kella and her friends have a toast at a farewell party as they graduate to mage apprentices.

Just finished coloring this fun picture of Kella, the main character of the epic fantasy I'll be releasing this fall. She's a champion of dance competitions when she's not holed up in a workshop inventing new magical gear.

A tiny eclair dragon ✨ Any more suggestions? I'm thinking about sweet donut dragon^^ #dragon #dragons #fantasy #art #pencilart #drawing

Had a great time at #anthrocon2025! Went to the fursuit figure drawing panel, where we did quick sketches of volunteer fur-suiters. These are from the 10-min and 15-min sessions. Fantastic panel!

My Cinderella retelling is still one of my favorite books I've written. I did this snappy poster-style picture back when I was writing it.

Hey you know what we haven't done in a while? COOKING STREAM! I'm gonna try to faithfully recreate that real tasty looking Country Stew Pie from Blue Prince this Thursday 6/19 at 6pm EDT. Stop by for a bite! 🎨@bad4pple.bsky.social‬

Fabulous time at #Dovercon yesterday! Thanks to all our wonderful readers, new and old, who came by for adventures to add to their TBR list 😁

Cinda and Karanna are ready to come to #Dovercon with me on Saturday! Come on down to this fun, FREE con in the good old state of Delaware - see you there!!

Sleeping Beauty, her prince, and her fairy godmothers (and the fabulous Phoenix, Garnet) from Spindle and Sapphire. I feel like I captured everyone's expressions just the way I wanted in this one!

The talkative and cheerful Sleeping Beauty with her rugged prince, from my latest book, Spindle and Sapphire 😁

#fantasyfictionfriday The advice to not use dialog tags at all. In fantasy you have so many characters that “Gandalf said” or “Frodo said” prevents mass confusion lol.

Celebrating 3 books in my Deep Within Fairytales series! I've drawn all the couples together. So much fun to imagine them all going out for a stroll together...

"Once Upon a Dream" but for my retelling of Sleeping Beauty 🥰 I love how this came out so much!

A few great reasons to check out Spindle and Sapphire!

From my newest release

A snippet from my new release, Spindle and Sapphire: A Retelling of Sleeping Beauty. Check out what the prince is thinking when he meets his true love for the first time ... (Get your copy on Amazon! 😁)

My new book, Spindle and Sapphire: A Retelling of Sleeping Beauty, is out on Amazon today!! I hope you'll pick up a copy of this delightful adventure of true love and found family. www.amazon.com/dp/B0DYPHZV4V

Sneak peek of my Sleeping Beauty story coming out next Saturday! Prince Taravar is hesitant to claim his throne, and Princess Karanna wonders why . . .

If you need a free fantasy or sci-fi story for a nice escape, check these out on BookFunnel! My story "A Ghost's Chance" is in this collection. books.bookfunnel.com/aprilfantasy...

Cover reveal for my newest fairy tale retelling, Spindle and Sapphire!! Getcovers did a fabulous job, didn't they? You can get this lovely book for yourself on April 26, just 2 weeks away!

Very happy with this character art of Dragon Huntress Elfana, one of the MCs in an epic fantasy series I'm working on.
