In a world where the line between science and magic blurs, a brave young girl discovers a power that will shape her destiny and lead her on a heartfelt journey of family, friendship, and self-discovery.

LUNA LILY and the LUNAR PARK is complete, and LUNA LILY and the REIGN of VANDROMEDA is currently in development. When finished, the four-part series will combine into an epic 260+ page graphic novel.

The first issue was funded through a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2025.


Issue 1: LUNA LILY and the LUNAR PARK

Ten-year-old Lily has always felt a little out of place with her quirky parents, who pretend to be Mother Nature and the Man in the Moon while running a nature‑and-science theme park. But when her dad is suddenly taken right in front of her, everything changes.

With a mysterious group watching closely, Lily, her friends Addie and Theo, and her loyal dog Duke are swept into a fast‑moving adventure—one that will test their courage and lead them into dangers they never expected.

Issue 2: LUNA LILY and the REIGN of VANDROMEDA

Upon arriving on the Moon, Lily discovers that Althea has imprisoned her father, seized control of the vast Moon Palace, and crowned herself Queen of the Moon. Worse, the flow of air and water from the subterranean world of Luminaria has been cut off, threatening the surface-dwellers who live beneath the palace's great dome.

To save her father and reclaim the palace, Lily and her friends must unite the Moon's divided peoples before a growing resource crisis tears them apart. Meanwhile, Althea joins forces with a wealthy octopus overlord to build an army and invade Luminaria for its precious resources.

As two worlds edge toward war, Lily begins to believe that the mysterious powers inherited from her mother may be the key to stopping the conflict before it's too late.

Issue 3: LUNA LILY and the KINGDOM of LUMINARIA

In the subterranean Kingdom of Luminaria, Lily faces trials that test her courage, resilience, and growing powers. Along the way, she uncovers a hidden truth about Althea's past, a secret that may hold the key to saving her father's kingdom.

As Squib's robot army prepares to invade Luminaria for its precious resources, Lily wins the trust of the moon people and rallies an army of her own. With a daring plan to reclaim the Moon, she must unite allies from two worlds before war consumes them both.

As Lily learns to awaken the nature powers inherited from her mother, she discovers a deeper connection to her legacy and the destiny she is meant to fulfill.


Issue 4: LUNA LILY and the MOON PRINCESS

The fate of the Moon hangs in the balance as Lily faces her greatest challenge yet. With old alliances tested, new enemies rising, and secrets finally revealed, Lily must embrace her destiny and become the leader her people need. The thrilling conclusion to the first Luna Lily saga brings epic battles, surprising twists, and a finale that will change the future of both the Moon and Earth.

Why THIS story?

I'm an indie graphic novelist who published my debut graphic novel and am currently creating Luna Lily and the Reign of Vandromeda. Inspired by my own journey as a reluctant reader, the Luna Lily series uses adventure, imagination, and accessible visual storytelling to help young readers discover the joy of reading. While created with reluctant readers in mind, the series tells heartfelt stories of friendship, courage, and resilience that resonate with middle-grade readers across a range of reading levels.

Creating a graphic novel is a journey of a thousand steps, but having friends to share the trip makes it much more meaningful and fun!
