In CHUTZPAH! I weave a tale of a semi-legendary Jewish Berber warrior queen who fought to save her people from an invading army. Felipe Sobreira @felipesobreira.bsky.social brings this desert tale to life!

Check us out on KS!

Here's a sneak peek at the art you will see in CHUTZPAH!

First is Felipe Sobreira's art for a story I wrote of a semi-legendary Jewish Berber woman warrior.

Then, it's my American Dreams partner in crime Dody Eka doing art for a WW2 story by Paul Axel!
