My books

As a versatile digital media producer, I enjoy creating ebooks in addition to paper books as they offer another way to tell a story or teach a few concepts in a ways that a website can’t including no distractions from popups and such. Well, as long as the notifications settings on your devices are turned off!

Tales of Mischief, Mayhem and Mirth

2023

A collection of fifteen interconnected, zany stories featuring Franky Banky, a fox who stutters, in a variety of speaking situations. Fluent readers learn what stuttering is and is not through Franky Banky’s actions to reactions toward his speech while readers who stutter learn about the benefits of being open about their speech and spreading awareness. I also use humour in my stories to make my book more engaging and fun.

Read details and reviews about my book on the Franky Banky website.

The Saga of Franky Banky

2019

A 10-page children’s story designed to look like an Viking saga. It’s a parody of Icelandic culture and travel I drew as a promotional book to hand out at the 13th International  Stuttering Association World Congress held in Iceland in 2019. The organiser liked my idea so much that he made my book the key swag bag item!

Classic novels with digital-culture themed covers

I illustrated covers of four classic novels in the public domain using references to today’s digital culture. Then I packaged them into an ebook for free download. I also blogged about the creative process in creating the covers (as well as providing download links):
