I have been waiting for months to be able to share something from the new graphic novel coming out in August. At long last, I am pleased to be able to share the cover art for the first issue of my first graphic novel– Muirwood: The Lost Abbey.
It has been an absolute thrill working with a team of script writers, illustrators, colorists, and editor and participating up close with the production. For those who have read the Author’s Note in Scourge of Muirwood, you will remember I talked about a novella called “Maia” that I wrote before the original Muirwood trilogy. That novella is The Lost Abbey. And the titular character, who is the heroine of my new Covenant of Muirwood series, is featured on the cover.
Drum roll please!
The artwork in this graphic novel is absolutely breathtaking. I’ve partnered closely with the team to help visualize this story based on how I view the world. Over the weeks and months to come, I will be sharing additional snippets from the interior of the graphic novel as well as revealing the cover art for the novels too. I’m completely thrilled by how things are shaping up.
For now – enjoy! You can find a link to the first issue here: The Lost Abbey. It comes out in 3 months–Aug 26, 2015. Make sure you sign up on my e-mail list if you haven’t yet!
More soon!

I am so anxious to read this. I loved the other 3 books When can we pre order this?
Pre-orders are available now through Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Muirwood-Abbey-Kindle-Serial-Legends-ebook/dp/B00X6MVUEE/ref=la_B004SBCEK6_1_14?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1431052639&sr=1-14
I discovered your writing on Amazon while having a book boredom. There was nothing that was catching my interest until I stumbled upon The Wretched of Muirwood. I was hooked and read the trilogy in about 10 days. I am now on to the second book in Whispers from Mirrowen. Thank you for sharing your artistry with the world. I look forward to reading your other books!
Of course I will read all your books day of release as I have enjoyed them all. I am curious as to why the graphic novel, Muirwood, The Lost Abbey is only coming out as a Kindle Version. I was hoping to get a paper copy and eventually an autograph from the author and illustrators at some point. Is there the possibility of a print copy in the future?
Muirwood:The Lost Abbey is being produced as a real comic book which you can order from your local comic book store. Although the individual issues will not be sold on Amazon, when all five issues are done, Amazon will sell a compilation graphic novel (print version). Kindle is not the only format, so yes – you can collect individual issues and get signatures! Comic book stores can start ordering it on May 27th.
Will the graphic novel be sold in a digital format without DRM?
