The Dreamer #17

by Lora Innes

Creator Lora Innes writes and illustrates the tale of 17-year-old Beatrice "Bea" Whaley, a student who begins having vivid dreams about a brave and handsome soldier named Alan Warren... a member of an elite group known as Knowlton's Rangers that fought during the Revolutionary War. Prone to keeping her head in the clouds, Bea welcomes her nightly adventures in 1776; filled with danger and romance they give her much to muse about the next day. But it is not long before Beatrice questions whether her dreams are simply dreams or something more...

About the author

I love storytelling in all forms. For years I was a graphic novelist, a podcaster, even a talking head on history documentaries, and now am a storyboard artist in animation. I just finished writing my first novel, "Private Knowlton"—a queer coming-of-age story set in the American Revolution.

Most people know me for The Dreamer, a webcomic which IDW Publishing collected into three graphic novels. The Dreamer was nominated for three Harvey Awards (including Best New Series and Best New Talent), was a finalist in the Graphic Novel for Young Adults category in the CYBILS Awards, and won the S.P.A.C.E. prize.
