Thanks again, Abigail! :)
Orion is a joy to work with!
And even though the book currently isn't available anywhere, I love this mock cover & it's exactly what I hoped for it to be! 🤩 Maybe one day my manuscript will slide in between his beautiful pages!
I loved creating this mock-up cover for the very talented Abigail F. Taylor’s new novel, A Home in Tishomingo! I enjoyed drawing all the details within the frame — it was a really unique and fun experience for me!

Thank you, @abigailtaylor.bsky.social , for letting me draw your cover! :)

I can't even express how excited and happy I am about this project! I’m so grateful that @nettirw.bsky.social invited me to illustrate an anthology called SILENT NIGHTMARES. This anthology is co-edited by Michael Bailey and Chuck Palahniuk, and features many insanely talented authors.

Silent me means a busy me, but here's an update on a not-so-silent project, SILENT NIGHTMARES, co-edited with Chuck Palahniuk for Saga Press, an imprint of Simon & Schuster. This incredible anthology will include illustrations by @orionzangaraart.bsky.social, so here's a teaser.

Thank you so much, Abigail! I’m so excited! :D
Getting a cover from @orionzangaraart.bsky.social for my next novel, A HOME IN TISHOMINGO, has me absolutely vibrating!

The story was inspired by my great grandparents & their outlaw antics as they survived the Dust Bowl. Polyamory, hoodoo, a formidable Choctaw matriarch. What's not to love?
