King Rex and the Knights of Sauria

I'd read many stories to my children, and thought it was about time I created one for them. I had the animation and illustration chops, and needed something fun to get my creative juices going.

 

I noticed there was a sort of story I wasn't seeing much of for their age: adventure, action, silliness, heroes, villains, and a plot where you could never tell what was going to happen next.

​

So I started sketching out characters, settings, choosing names. A story took shape, surprising me with each page I drew. It was great fun, and exactly what creativity should be. 

​

I handed them the finished book, and read it with them. Fortunately they loved it. I had an inkling others would too. So I brought the handcrafted pages into the computer, tidied them up, and published it in 2020. The response was brilliant: children loved it. I received fan mail, and it's wonderful to still be receiving feedback from it 6 years later. So King Rex hit a chord, and clearly has legs and lots of potential.

 

So I set to work on Book 2, and have a story outlined across several books. Production on Book 2 is nearing the end stages, and I'm aiming to release it at the end of 2026, and looking for a publishing home. One thing is for sure: King Rex and co want more space for their adventures, and have many more tales to roam in. I can't wait to see where they go next.
