THE SCARLET ENVELOPE - illustrated book on KICKSTARTER
The crowdfunding campaign for my book is available! We've already reached the 90% of the goal! Check the campaign for the beautiful rewards I'm preparing.
This book brings together 29 illustrations that I meticulously hand crafted for a story of spies, secrets and charismatic characters set around a mysterious party. The artwork is accompanied by texts in English and Spanish (more languages in the stretch goals!) narrating the story.
If you enjoy Edward Gorey, Erté or "A Series of Unfortunate Events", this may interest you! (as these were my main inspirations for this project!)

In 1893, knowing that Conan Doyle was going to be killing off Sherlock Holmes, the Strand Magazine decided to fill the void with a series of medical mysteries called "Diary of a Doctor" by veteran magazine story writer LT Meade.
I've always thought it would be fun to reimagine them as adventures Watson had during the hiatus, trying to continue solving mysteries by himself using Holmes' methods, and working through his grief. I also wanted to flesh them out a little, adding in more character moments and scene setting.
So... that's what I've done! This is part mine, part LT Meade's, created from the story 'My First Patient' originally published in 1893.
You can read the complete story here!

Do not scroll.
I have a deal for you.
I receive: Your follow
You receive: Your username will go down in a small pretty notebook as my first few followers for my novel + a novel with exactly what you like, as if this fell onto your page, you're the target audience
With regards to the novel: Premise? No I refuse to say. Main character? I refuse to say. Tropes? I refuse to say. I'd like to make this a project of trust, and perhaps the suspense of the storyline will only enhance your reading experience. I'll post quotes, paragraphs, and more little clues. And the first person to guess the plot (I hope my publishers allow this) will receive a free signed copy once the novel is published (maybe merch depending on the accuracy of the plot guessed).
I may disappoint. But how do you know for sure I will?
