Being a Graphic Novel/Comics creator and taking part in #DVPit was interesting, but not a lot of agents are in that zone. Hope more will join the next foray. Thanks to the friends who persuaded me to take part. Much love💖

You can now buy the trade paperback of ARCHAIC, about a badass single mom who’s put in charge of a sentient island and its mythological Inhabitants. Come for the Mesopotamian goddess of the dead, stay for the 9-yr-old who saves the day w/birdwatching skills.
