Tales from afar!
Near or far, you’ve traveled beyond the stars. To understand the world you see, you must understand the stories we breathe

My First Try
Every writer starts somewhere; it’s all a matter of putting pen to paper or finger to keyboard. When I was younger, I was an avid reader, and naturally, I wanted to write a story of my own. My first attempt at being a writer was a fantasy adventure about a group of misfits who get pulled into a battered computer and go through a series of trials and quests to save a crumbling kingdom.

Snow White: Princess, Damsel & Heroine
The tale of Snow White by the Brothers Grimm has been adapted for screen, stage and literature across many generations. Among other fairytales, this one has stood the test of time with readers, young and old. Most notably, Walt Disney made history with the first animated feature-length film, an adaptation of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1937. Entirely hand-drawn and standing the test of time, the film was the starting point for animated features.
