ORDER MY AUDIOBOOKS
My books are available in print, eBook & audiobook editions from your favourite online retailer; they can be ordered through your local bookstore; or ask your local library!

My illustrations blend multi-layered traditional and contemporary approaches, using dip pen-and-ink, pan pastels, coloured pencils, and watercolour, mixed with digital techniques. My artwork is created by hand - fatto a mano. Then it is scanned and played with + polished in Photoshop.
