the Series Begins...

Into the BeanStalk

Jack is a techie and long-time shut-in, driven to save her father from corporate servitude. That means getting her hands on scrip, and lots of it. Going into debt with the most violent bikers in Hope Megacity will get her the cybernetic limbs she needs to overcome her disabilities, but that’s only the beginning.

Updates: Into the BeanStalk won its seventh award today! The audio drama is in production (I've heard some of it...it's insane!) and artwork for the comic is expected to release alongside a Kickstarter within weeks. 

We're already working to incorporate AR tech on the comics! (Think interactive and kinda like holograms)

Can't wait to share more updates as things start to kick into gear!

Trying out the turntable...decided to make a video featuring my #cyberpunk themed Collector Crates! Each is filled with my books and stickers, of course.

These will be available starting Saturday at all of my book signings and events!

Some USB lanterns + LED panels = a couple of #cyberpunk themed beacons for my booth. Love that they're self contained and can also charge other devices if I need them to.

My #cyberpunk Collector Crates...first batch hand-designed by yours truly and waiting to be filled with my novels and merch before my next book signing!

I've had a lot of fun making each one unique and eye-catching — even dusting off some of my low-level graffito skills from back in the day. 😆

Next month I plan on making a new set and doing a very limited online drop. If you're interested, be sure to message or follow!

I gave into the requests and created the first prototype of my Collector Crate!

Everyone loves my Pelican Case table displays, and I've had quite a few people ask when I'd start selling them. 

There was never a plan for that, but I did want to use these small cases that are perfectly sized for my novels as collectible packaging.

And I finally did it. Each waterproof, lockable box will include books one and two of Jack's award-winning series, a discount voucher for book three (Into the Wishing Star) and sticker pack! 

This will be limited edition, as I hand design each individual crate.

These go on sale at Spring Book Binge first, but I will also be making a few available on my website soon!
