Update: Graphic novel news

Hello friends,

Episode 12 is now in its final polishing stage, and if all goes smoothly, you’ll be reading it next week. It’s taken me slightly longer than planned… but for a very exciting reason.

I’ve been quietly (and joyfully) working on the first-ever ‘Furber and the Mystic Woods’ graphic novel! This book will be the beginning of a whole series of expanded adventures exploring new corners, characters, and mysteries of the world…

I can’t wait to share more as it unfolds. Thank you, as always, for reading 'Furber and the Mystic Woods’.

-Daniel

The proofs have arrived today for my novella “The Nightman”. I wrote this story last year and did not expect to publish it. It is nevertheless finally happening. Holding the proofs in my hand I realised that all those people who used to say that writing wasn’t worth wasting my time on were wrong. In fact, if there is something “worth wasting your time on” it’s creating. Beauty and truth, a flicker of your dreams only can come into form and shape when you create something out of nothing. And one step beyond that- a necessary step- is to share it with the world and with your favourite people. No matter how small your contribution may be, it’s yours. And it’s all of ours.

Drawings of (and inspired by) the cats I was living with for three months at this point.

Aboard a floating spaceship above the infinite sea of time and space, a former park ranger, Cryptid bartender and a ex clone-prisoner embark on an adventure of chaos to keep a starving inter-dimensional monster at bay. International Legends takes the reader on a journey through characters in a place of doubt - ultimately taking them to hope and faith in their Creator.
