Agnargsilv, the dark canid mask from the Noss Saga, with golden laurels for Wolf of Withervale: Best Fantasy at the Queer Indie Awards, Best Novel at the Ursa Major Awards, and Finalist at the SPFBO Fantasy Book Awards.

The Noss Saga is a high fantasy tale of transformation and self-discovery. This ambitious adventure explores sexuality, our connections to other species, unconventional kinds of love, and the very nature of consciousness.

Noss Fantasy Map Brush Pack

Wanna make your own fantasy maps?

I created too many maps for the Noss Saga, and to prepare for such a huge task, I developed my own set of brushes and assets. They are now available for download.

Perfect for RPGs, artists, authors, cartographers, and indie game devs.

An ambitious, sweeping saga

The Noss Saga spans six books and over one million words. All the books are written and are in different stages of editing. My goal is to release the books as soon as the edits and illustrations are finished, approximately every 8 months.

The books are a bit nerdy (paleoartists? biologists? geologists? astronomers? gotchu covered fam), they have intrinsic shapeshifting and anthropomorphic themes (furries, rejoice!), they explore sex, gender, and sexuality (it may not be smut, but I’m not holding back), and they are filled with an unabashed sense of wonder.

Alongside Tolkien, believe it or not, Carl Sagan was my greatest inspiration for these novels. I don’t want the readers to merely fall in love with the characters and plot, I want them to fall in love with the beauty of the world, with the joy of discovery, with the promise of a much grander story to come.
