About the author

Started life as an egg, hatched in Surrey, explored a bit, wanted to see more. Searched and grew, learnt a lot and a little, did some of this and some of that and occasionally some of the other! Started writing, loved it, loved getting paid for it also. Fulfilled some dreams and ambitious, yet some yet to be conquered.

Lives by the sea.

Reviews

[Robert Kimberlin · Rating 5 out of 5]

A GREAT COMIC. VERY GOOD STORIES AND ART.

[Dan · Rating 4 out of 5]

A collection of three short graphic stories.

“Snow Monkey”

Jennifer Gaitlin has an evil father. She’s fighting his students.

Good action; the names of Jen’s moves are a cool addition.

Also good facial details.

Interesting enough; would continue.

“Enigmatown”

Angela.

Gregory—a boy turned doll.

Strong detail. Thorough color work. Clear, concise print and font.

The limerick / rhyme style is cool.

Sad, but promising. Gorgeous illustrations.

“Something Beyond the Petrichor”

Post-apocalyptic, dystopian setting: Apison, Tennessee.

Jocelyn is eating peaches; Quigley is not pleased.

Quigley is a turtle. Hard to tell if he’s a robot, or just Jocelyn’s hallucination.

Bizarre color choices. Weak-on-detail drawings.

“Snow Monkey” (4 ⭐️)
“Enigmatown” (5 ⭐️)
“Something Beyond the Petrichor” (2.5 ⭐️)
