"It simply isn't an adventure worth telling...
The Farmer and the Fald
Join me on my latest adventure, as two years of work and and eighteen years of worldbuilding culminate in my first completed novella. Complimented with a detailed map, calendar and illustrations all beautifully hand drawn by the talented Hilary James.
Farmer Bundon never dreamed of fancy. But when, by chance; in the hedgerows, he discovers a fald’s egg (a dragon’s smaller, uglier cousin) fancy seems to find him regardless. He and his headstrong daughter Tyr’Dalka are brought unwillingly into a conflict, where his humble wisdom, her boundless honesty and a cowardly fald must do battle against the more contemptible shadows of human kind; the dark fires of avarice, pride and wrath.
“But there’s no forcing the hearts of the unwilling, lest you lend your hands to conquest. And we’re no conquerors, Tyr. Just a farmer, and his daughter.”
Through talks of destiny and deals with dragons; through the oaths of knights and the riddles of elves, the reluctant and weary family weave their thread, and lay their hands to drawing out the foul poisons of the world, when and wherever they might find them. And together they discover that adventures– true adventures, rarely resemble the stories.
The Farmer and the Fald is available digitally as an eBook, but also in print in both hardback and paperback editions.

Stationery & Print
Posters, flyers and wedding invitations , sure. But all that merchandise as well; those pens, those t-shirts, those fancy mugs for the office. Designing for print is my bread and butter.
Graphic Design
Logos and Brand Identity, letterheads, business cards, invoices... A lot of little bits of paper and pixels in the corner of your screen. You see them every day, so why not make them beautiful?
Illustration
Perhaps more of the personal touch? I have extensive experience in digital art and illustration, especially in the realms of concept and character design.
