Description

STORY SYNOPSIS
Ghosts, magicians, and romance collide in this Victorian comedy.

The restoration of the derelict Valiard Mansion throws childhood sweethearts Ruth and Theodore back into each others' lives after eight years apart. Can they reconcile their differences when their worlds are so very changed by the societal gap which divides them?

And when emotions run high, the spirits of The Valiard Mansion stir.




Welcome to the preview chapters of my illustrated novel, The Valiard Mansion! :D This version has been edited for print, and although it still needs a few proofreads from me and its editor, it hopefully serves as a faithful sample of what to expect once the novel hits bookstore shelves.

KINDLY NOTE: This PDF will be appended with illustrations as soon as they are finished. The formal illustration process of the novel will begin in June, 2016. :aww:

The Valiard Mansion will be published by Golden Bell's Polar Press.

Released in time for CHRISTMAS, 2016!
Pre-orders open August, 2016!
