These pages take a long time because I'm doing them the hard, slow way, watercolor & ink. For heaven's sake if this project interests you —follow me. I'm doing the math and I need the first story to do extremely well if I'm going to make the money work. I want passion to win.

The first 4 pages sans text for PetraCor, my Anglo-Saxon graphic novel. Each chapter is a self-contained episode. A early-medieval Twilight Zone structure with stories inspired by Dante, English and Celtic fable, and the real history of 8th century England. I can't wait to start drawing creatures. The truly strange stuff. That's certainly a highlight. But the heart of the story is two men --one a Saxon thegn whose life of bloody conflict has left him searching for meaning, and the other a young Lombardian exile whose aristocratic family was unseated by Charlemagne's conquests in Italy. With all lost, he lives in the present. Thrown together, they wander the length of Albion on a path to the Holy Isle of Lindisfarne, navigating the layers of cultures that centuries of conquest had brought to the isle. Saints, monsters, druids, wicked gods and men, nature and the ruins it has reclaimed pepper the road between Wintanceastre and Lindisfarne in Anno Domini 793.

Astonished to find myself at number 1 and number 2 in British and Irish poetry. Maybe the epic poem is making a comeback!

In 2018, I needed an escape from grief. I had just lost my mother to cancer, and most things in my life seemed to be a reminder of the loss. I searched for months for a way to process my mourning in my own way. I found it in a prolonged act of subcreation (in the vein of Tolkien and Lewis): writing a sprawling tale and drawing the world it belongs to. Over the course of eight years, that work took a shape: a fun adventure story that grew a heart and eventually warranted the full treatment of editing, illustration, and hand-painted cover art: The Breach of Nivenrile. In 21 days, I’d like to share it with you.
