“Ah, you have tricked me,” I said with an embarrassed smile. “Surely, you will not mean to have this work in your home.”
“On the contrary, all the more reason! You are a prodigy, and anyone would be proud to have this in his home,” he said. He had turned back to the painting, and I was able to better observe him. I realized he must have been a great deal older than I first thought—for one thing, he used reading spectacles, and for another, upon closer inspection I could see a sprinkling of grey in his brown hair and even more in his beard.
He seemed very interested in the painting, almost as though he’d forgotten about me, and a pang of disappointment struck me. Well, he was quite mature; possibly almost forty, and a good man. Naturally he would think me very young and foolish. I knew he was not married—he was the bachelor friend of the Morettis, I had heard—but that had nothing to do with anything.
~Chapter 1: In Which Anabelle Wants the Truth and Nothing But the Truth, from Three of Swords Volume IV: The Moon.

I've raided the Three of Swords part of your gallery with my morning coffee and I'm really thrilled to have found it, as I said before. Your illustrations are so striking with detail, lighting, fashion, atmosphere and liveliness. Anyone could tell there's a story behind it and the figures are characters not simply designs. While you're more historically accurate, what I write is heavily Victorian-inspired (not steampunk, I have to note) and so I love it that much more. I've been dying for scenes from the actual novel and stories but since I can't draw and can only commission, it's a money issue. I love seeing fiction come alive with words more than anything but sometimes when it's before your eyes it's a special treat. Many people depict this era's fashion and sometimes settings way too drab, very happy you don't. I really want to feature and promote your work, I'm in love with it. I'll like you on FB as Dramira's page and my side-one besides my personal profile. Whenever I do a feature on here (not active like I used to be) you will be included for sure. I'm so unsatisfied with the lack of attention these works are getting. You're offering so much to be adored and appreciated. 
I hope to read your novel soon. Also, please forgive any spelling and grammar mistakes. Like I said, morning coffee...totally not at my most efficient.
