Yes. I know despair. But I know true love and protection, too.

Behind the Scenes of “Villa But Goes By Vil”
“Villa But Goes By Vil” is another passion project of mine that honestly came about out of anger. It’s about the unfairness of the world and how one sibling could have the world after them while the other is able to go through life unscathed.
This story takes place in The Lockdrest Universe in the Wandering Realm’s Quaint Side, which is another place that I can’t wait to show my readers and the world.
I honestly had a lot of fun writing this story. When I started, I did not have that much of a plan for it, it just came out of me while my emotions were trying to work themselves out.
This artwork was done by Alana Tedmon, whom I am so happy I trusted with this personal piece. If you want to read the short story, click below!
Lingering
In summer heat
We sip watermelon juice
Tasting lingering ambience
Clinging to you
Sun rays shine
On your glistening skin
You serenade to me
Your deep thoughts and whims
Can You Convince Me?
Can you walk me through persuasion?
Convince me to sit upon the crown?
Tell me this world needs me
or it will surely drown.
Can you run me through some coaxing?
Give me the confidence I need?
Tell me all about this laughter
that will make entire worlds agree.
Put Me on a Pedestal and See
Put me up on a pedestal
And see, I’m not profound
Watch me make mistakes
And let everybody down
I am only human
Myself is the best I can be
I do not belong on a pedestal
Just let me be me
The Conzeal Stran
This scene is a scene from the book Unredeemed, and honestly, I am blown away by how well Colin Moore Alvarado was able to capture it. This is one of the prints I would love to get printed on a metal slate to hang on a wall one day.
This scene takes place in The Conzeal Stran. To read more about the depth of The Conzeal Stran, click below, but I came up with this place to create a mishap with Airya’s powers and to up the emotional tension that would later weave into the relationship arc between two of the characters.
Because we love the art so much, we created a bookmark for it and a mug! You can click on the pictures to see the full item.
I am serious that this wonderful piece by Colin will be hanging on my wall one day, and I can’t wait.
Yelluks
 Colin Moore Alvarado created the concept art for this creature belonging to the Kasverse, called a Yelluk. It is a giant worm on the planet Delloc and appears in our book Unredeemed, where our main character, Airya, deals with it. I made this creature because I wanted something to up the tension and pacing for Airya while she was in Nokia, on top of wanting her to do something to gain respect from the king and queen there. Â
