When I first set out as a visual storyteller, I marketed myself as a writer and illustrator. Illustration took off first, leading me to game design and animation positions, but I never stopped writing. Recently, I’ve stepped up my publishing efforts. My first novel, Valhollywood, is currently available on on sale in paperback, hardcover, and Kindle.

When rising film star Jake Neumann dies, he finds himself in an afterlife earned not by faith or good works, but by fame. While the fame of an actor is intense, it is also fleeting; when film stars are forgotten on earth, they fall from this heaven.

As Jake comes to grips with his new reality, he witnesses a tragedy that shakes his new community. He and his friends are caught up in a mystery, leading down a tangled path of magic, mobsters and mayhem. No one is safe in a world where even death may die, and Jake must race to find the key to saving his new home from the threat approaching…Valhollywood!
