What can I say about myself...

​

I was born and raised in the UK, the second child of three.

​

I spent my childhood reading fantasy books. I dreamed of riding dragons, going on daring quests, and exploring incredible lands. My creativity was encouraged by my parents and shared by my siblings. My sister and I were always writing little stories and all three of us have always loved drawing and creating characters.

​

I love fantasy, video games and roleplay games of all kinds. My love of fantasy fiction sparked the creation of the world of T’Kola. I spent a lot of time watching nature documentaries, discovering all the weird and wonderful ways that nature adapts to different environments, and incorporating it all into my own creatures.

 

It was a love for Dungeons and Dragons in particular that inspired the characters in The Art of Belonging, allowing a story to be told that explores the Six Kingdoms and the fantastic creatures and people who live there.
