The upper half represents the Industrialists. The bottom half depicts the druids and their harmony with nature and the elements.

Queries is always a great topic! I'd love to know what first pages of a book jump out to you most or what is an immediate no.

I can’t wait for the day when I see my book title on publishers market place.

Manifesting that I see it by the end of the year ✨
