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.
The ultimate goal is to complete four exclusive issues, which combined will create one 280-page graphic novel for kids to enjoy everywhere. The first issue is completed thanks to a successful KickStarter in 2025.
Issue 1: LUNAR 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 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 3: LUNA LILY and the Moon Kingdom
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 4: LUNA LILY and the 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 representing America’s rich, diverse heritage. Through adventure, she evolves into a confident leader, inspiring others as she discovers her emerging powers.
My goal is to immerse readers in Lily’s world and spark wonder and curiosity, while making them root for her, relate to her struggles, and celebrate her transformation.
It’s time to take a chance and create my own story—to step beyond helping others bring their visions to life and focus on bringing life to my own. 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 .
