As an avid lover of books from a very young age, it was a natural transition to go from reading about fantastical places to writing about them. From shape shifters to aliens to magic-wielding youngsters, I always have a story to tell.

Moon Eaters

08/05/2020

The last few weeks have been busy beyond belief. who knew having everyone in quarantine would encourage a bunch of businesses to kick start that software project they’ve been sitting on for months?

This is a rough painting of Queen Clíodhna (Klee-uh-nah), the banshee queen. Pictured left in her glamoured form (so that she appears human), and right in her true form. She features in the current chapter of Mercy that I’m working on, and I had the urge to draw her on the iPad. Banshees are infamous … More The Banshee Queen
