It's finally happening!
Back in 2014, I seized the opportunity to showcase my work at New York Comic Con. Taking a timid leap, I transformed the Centernia webcomic into Return to the Castle, a young adult novel. The response was overwhelming, with a complete sell-out over that first weekend.
The journey continued with the creation of the second novel, Mark of the Castle, and the subsequent release of the third installment, Whispers in the Azure. Sci-Fi and Fantasy veteran Keith R.A. DeCandido took over editing, giving the series a new level of polish.
As my career as an illustrator blossomed over the years, so did the expansive Centernia universe. Now, the time has come to transcend the confines of the page.
I am thrilled to announce my partnership with Jamie-Lyn Markos, a seasoned actress with an impressive two-decade-long career spanning live theater, film, commercials, video games, audio dramas, and audiobooks. Renowned for her comedic flair and heartfelt performances, Jamie-Lyn has graced audiences as a performer for the Walt Disney Company, transporting them to the golden era of Hollywood and a galaxy far, far away through the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Experience.
The campaign goes live in January 2024 to bring the full Centernia audiobook to life. Backers will have complete control over their copies, and the recording will not be tied to a single platform. Watch my social media for sneak peaks of early chapters.
