| Another quick post, just to point you in the direction of a couple of very nice write-ups on The Rainbow Orchid (only a month until launch date). |

| "The characters are real, the setting is authentic, and this opening chapter hints at many plot strands. It's got depth, charm and real polish." - TRS2
"..the story is a thoroughly charming slice of nostalgia-tinged British adventurism." - Unified Review Theory
"..a genuine joy to read.." - The Real Mainstream
"It is not just ambitious but it works and with élan. The different levels of the story and their attendant styles lend a tremendous feeling of depth to the whole book.." - Zum

| See the creative process that is used to get The Rainbow Orchid from the imagination to the page, from script and sketches to inks and colouring.
"A good comic strip is perfect economic story-telling; a panel is not just a pretty picture, but story in action, whether that story is being told through Julius Chancer running through the jungle or the expression on Lily Lawrence's face. Every line conveys information.."
