I have always been fascinated by the comics as a medium to tell stories. I have always wanted to do a graphic novel once I’ve finished my novels. However, I am aware it takes time and great commitments to get one done. I can draw and write so that’s a bonus. There’s an idea spinning round in my head at the moment and that’s the spinoff for the “angels of fire” series which will focus on a new character who makes his first appearance in the condemnation games. The idea isn’t fully fleshed out and neither are the art works but I decided to upload it up on wordpress anyways. Enjoy and tell me what you think about the “teaser” which I’ve uploaded. I know the colours are bad and the dialogues don’t give too much away but I’ll explain it anyways. It’s about a guy, Ruben, who decides to cut off his engagement, throw the ring away and set up a very “special agency” in the heart of London in a fictional place called Grayeham. Did I forget to mention he has a very beautiful secretary?  

My friends and acquintances have often asked me how I design book covers. In all honesty, I don't know myself. Just like my writing, I come up with ideas on the spot.

I go to File >Open, to open up two screens of the images.   Now With the drape image I select the rectangle select tool which can be found on the toolbox on the left and select the desired area which I want to cut. Then I right click> edit> copy. I paste it on top of the second image. I resi

I have decided to create this page in order for me to post snippets of my stories and drawings here as well as interact with my fans. I am a pretty creative person and think that this is an ideal outlet to unleash that creativity. I have written one novel in the Angels of Fire trilogy and that is the “Damnation Plays”. I plan to make this available in Kindle soon. I have already started work on the other two novels. Being a non-linear writer I alternate between the two novels. Hopefully, this blog can grow and become bigger. Don't be afraid to comment and post. X Chantal X
