When I sent my last update I believed it was impossible to include graphic illustrations with my message. Not true.
So here are some samples of serigraphs I would like to have illustrate the book. They are all by the same artist, a Haida woman named Skaana Jaad, who lives in Masset on Graham Island.




Hello to the 111 followers and 47 readers (wow!) of Witherfist.
A slightly different update for you today, as I share with you a little of the ’behind the scenes’ worlding building that goes on when I’m working on Witherfist. Today, I’d like to show off some of my newly acquired amateur cartography skills. After all, what would any decent fantasy novel be without a map to refer to?
Though it’s still a work in progress, here’s a little glimpse of the geographic region featured in the sample chapters of Witherfist. It’s by no means the full view of the world, and even this small section isn’t fully labelled yet (where are the dragons at the edges?!) but here it is!
If you squint, you might be able to read what it says...

There’s plenty still to add and I’m hoping to be able to share more of this map with you very soon.

I’ve hit the button!
Aye, that’s right me lovelies, Beneath White Clouds is up, active, and funding.
Now I need you. Check it out, scope out the trailer, spread the word, and lend me your support.
I love this story, love the pace, the energy, the razor’s edge it walks between comedy and tragedy. I want to give this story the greatest entrance into the world I can manage, and I can do that with your help.
