Fair winds! If you’ve clicked my profile you will find I’m an author and artist, working in multiple genres and styles with a gentle disdain for the algorithm 😌
My flagship series is the Summer King Chronicles—a young adult coming-of-age fantasy adventure… with gryfons!

An image of the five main titles in the Summer King Chronicles by Jess E. Owen. Title lettering in an ornate frame appears above the books, and a line from a five star review reads: “I’m sitting here, wondering how to put my newfound love for this series into words.” the whole image is set against a snowy mountainous backdrop illuminated by an aurora borealis. That image is from the cover artwork for the book “A Shard of Sun,” and was painted by Jennifer Miller aka Nambroth.

The cover of the novel “A FurryFaux Paw.” It looks like a splash of iridescent pink fur, with textured fuzzy purple letters on the title .

This #FurryBookMonth I’m so pleased to offer signed copies of “A Furry Faux Paw”! My first contemporary novel is a love letter to the fandom, about a teen furry artist desperate to escape her hoarder mother.

There can never be enough

Parrot gryphons loosely based on pearly conures, but huge, flying over the sea with riding gear and pirate accessories. These were made for a contest to create a mount for a game.

A sand-colored gryphon is stretching with its tail pointing up and its forelimbs forward.

A dark brown gryphon is leaping through the air with its wings extended to soar, but its bird feet ready to strike.
