THANK YOU!!!

Aww man you have no idea how much it means to me to read that people are still interested in my Gardendragon books 😭😭💖

I HAVE been working on and off on an English translation myself actually! But I'm currently stuck on the Gardening chapter, which has been rEALLY hard to translate due to me having to double-check my plant register for potential invasive plants. Since the original German version strictly orientates itself on plants native to GERMANY, I have to make sure I don't accidentally recommend plants that would be INVASIVE in the UK! I think I'd genuinely need the help of a British botanist to go over everything...

I have to admit I'm currently floating in limbo with the books. I've been investing most my time in other projects like my pokemon comics, commissions, new merch such as my Herds of Epona cards... mainly due to the fact that I don't know where to go to next with my books. Just submitting them to a publisher without any Vitamin B is almost a lost cause with how many thousands of submissions publishers get each day.

I REALLY want to republish my books but I know I'd have greater chances if I'd know more people within the industry with direct contacts to publishers or book agents. I need to meet someone who REALLY listens to my pitch and recognizes the potential the Gardendragons hold for a worldwide release. I have THREE MANUSCRIPTS in my folder for TWO NOVELS and the main guide book for crying out loud!!

I have also been thinking about self-publishing, but it's the same issue: I need people who'd HELP me with this, I can't do the book layout by myself and I also would have to do a TON of self-advertisement and that's a ridiculous amount of unpaid time to invest...

I guess I'm waiting for the universe to tell me what to do next. I'm not giving up on the Gardendragons, I've put WAY too much work and heart into them to ever abandon them and I've SEEN the results first-hand of how they positively affect both children in adults in appreciating nature, growing more aware of their surroundings and reshaping their gardens to be a paradise for both humans AND insects. The books had the EXACT EFFECT on people I WANTED it to have, IT'S A FREAKING GOLD-MINE MAN!!!

But for now all I can do is keep going, work on the translation whenever I can and hope for new people to come into my life to help me find my next step on this journey 😟😔🐉🌺💖

I have a webpage on my homepage by the way describing the Gardendragons book series for an online pitch, available in both English and German

BUY THE BOOK NOW ON AMAZON 🇩🇪 Folgt dem Link hier um zum Angebot zu kommen!

There's only 28 copies of my Adventure novel left and they need to go NOW so I can apply for a new publishing house this summer! Even if I should go under contract again this year, it might take another year or more until my books come out again, so if you're interested in reading them, better buy a copy NOW before they're gone for good!!

A Marigold-Dragon awakening from his frozen slumber.

It’s FINALLY starting to feel like spring over here so I decided to pull out one of my older Gardendragon illustrations from my 2019 book calendar! :D I’d actually love to include some of these if I were to make a remastered version of my Gardendragon Guidebook. But a FEW of them are available for print!

GARDENDRAGONS - Tropaeolum / Nasturtium

Traditional sketch of my Nasturtium Dragon. I haven’t drawn them in AGES so this was a nice break from my usual work. I should post more of them tbh, I draw them the least out of my 7 (ok at this point 8) dragon species. They are a bright yellow with wings and body markings in varying colors from orange to red to peach. And SUPER tiny. just as big as a Nasturtium flower.

And a quick Shout-out to my patreons! :D This sketch was available a few days earlier for them.
