In this week’s episode, fantasy author Missy Sheldrake joins the show, so fairy tale fans, authors, and illustrators sit back, relax, and enjoy the one hour plus show! Missy is unique in that she’s one of the few authors out there who also creates her own covers (see them below) and illustrates her novels.
You’ll find out more in the podcast, but early elements of the series actually came from this game:
(Missy definitely got her money’s worth out of this game, since she got not only a book series from it but a husband and a job – who says playing video games doesn’t pay??? 🙂
Her creations aren’t just 2D – some are sculptures. Check out her page for a gallery of hand-crafted fairies.
Check out some of her books featuring the fairy world she created below:
Books 1 and 2 in the series (click on the covers to go to the Amazon pages).
You can download this short story (which takes place after book 2) for free on Amazon.
Book 3 is coming this month – click on the image above to check out the pre-order page on Amazon.
Digitally created illustrations that Missy did in the Call of Kythsire (first 5) and Call of Sunteri (last one). Click on the pictures to go to Missy’s illustrations page.
