I’m working with Brock Jones, a local artist, to bring the Tales of Princess Meridian into children’s books with illustrations. We’re making some changes. Princess Meridian is going to lose the crown, and be a regular, neighborhood girl. She will be Raven Roxby: adventurer, seeker, explorer of the suburban frontier. It just so happens she can speak to animals. This is a preliminary visual board from Cock-a-Doodle Duck. It'll probably be the spring of 2026 before these books hit the street, but it will be worth it.
Princess Meridian has many adventures, and frequently learns a lesson in the process. These are stories I wrote for my daughter when she was very young. She complained nobody had the same name as her. While inspired by my daughter, I don’t think she ever kissed a frog, but is every bit a princess.
