Twisted: Tales to Rot Your Brain Vol. 1

I’ve been an artist all my life, and I never dreamed I would cross over into writing, and yet here I am.

I’ve written and illustrated a book titled Twisted: Tales to Rot Your Brain Vol 1. It’s a little twisted, as you can imagine, and it will probably do some damage to your brain, as you might expect.

The book has gotten some great reviews (Publishers Weekly, Midwest Book Review and Kirkus Reviews, to drop a few names), and Kirkus Reviews made it their Indie Spotlight Q&A! It even went and won itself a couple Purple Dragonfly Book Awards.
