My author copies of The Pale Queen have arrived! The book looks stunning and the colors are so vivid! It's always an incredible feeling to hold a book I made for the first time.

The Pale Queen is on shelves this June. If you like the sound of a queer dark fairy tale about dangerous bargains, old myths, new love, and at least one weird little guy, please preorder wherever you get books!

Hi! Is The Pale Queen a solo book or will it be a part of a series?

Good question! The Pale Queen is a standalone, self-contained graphic novel. I wanted to tell a straightforward kind of fairy tale, and I'm pretty happy with the end result.
