Logline
With the help of friends and her budding powers, Mother Nature's daughter Lily must stop an alien from discrediting her father and seizing his moon kingdom's throne in a tale of courage, destiny, and the unyielding bonds of family.
ISSUE ONE:
The Lunar Park
Ten-year-old Lily has always felt disconnected from her eccentric parents, who assume the roles of Mother Nature and The Man in the Moon while managing a quirky nature and science theme park. She feels she has outgrown their "childish" personas—until an alien named Althea Vandromeda abducts her father for possessing an alien spaceship! As a shadowy organization closes in on the spaceship, Lily, her friends Addie and Theo, her loyal dog Duke, and Helix—a robot guide—embark on a daring one-way trip to the moon, where unknown dangers await them.
ISSUE TWO:
Vandromeda’s Reign
Upon arriving on the moon, Lily discovers that Althea has imprisoned her father, seized control of the massive domed Moon Palace, and declared herself Queen of the Moon. To make matters worse, the essential resources of water and air, supplied to the dome from the subterranean world of Luminaria, have been cut off. Lily and her friends must team up with unlikely alien allies and navigate treacherous lunar landscapes to rescue her father and reclaim the palace. As resources dwindle, Althea enlists the help of a wealthy and powerful octopus overlord to build her army and conquer Luminaria for its precious supplies. Along the way, Lily begins to awaken her mother’s magical powers of nature.
ISSUE THREE:
The Kingdom of Luminaria
In the subterranean world of Luminaria, Lily faces trials that test her courage and resilience. 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 Althea's robot army prepares to invade Luminaria for its precious resources, Lily wins the hearts of the moon people and rallies an army of her own. With a daring rescue plan to save her father underway, Lily begins to harness her mother's nature powers and discovers the profound bond she shares with her parents and the legacy she is destined to uphold.
ISSUE FOUR
Moon Princess
This issue is secret for now, but it will reveal more of Lily’s powers as she proves herself a true leader. It will be epic, with many reveals, and a heart pounding finale that will have you at the edge of your seat!
Why this story?
This story stems from my love of fantasy adventures, nature, and science. As an educational content creator, I craft narratives that blend emotional growth with discovery. While science and nature shape the world, the heart of the story is pure escapism—inviting readers into an imaginative journey. At its core is Lily, a small yet determined heroine of African and European descent, representing America’s rich, diverse heritage. Through adventure, she evolves into a confident leader, inspiring others as she unlocks her special powers. My goal is to immerse readers in a world of wonder and curiosity while making them root for her, relate to her struggles, and celebrate her transformation. It’s time to take a chance on my own creativity—to step beyond helping others bring their visions to life and focus on bringing my own to reality. This service creator is ready to become a self creator.
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.
Come along and see me create a book I know you will love .
