Wolf’s Belly
My graphic novel, illustrated by Simón Estrada.
You may think you know the story: Little Red Riding Hood is swallowed by a wolf, and later rescued by a kindly Woodcutter.
But that’s not what really happened.
For starters, her name was Lu. The daughter of two brave adventurers, she wasn’t headed to Grandmother’s house. She was looking for glory. She was hunting the Wolf.
Swallowed by the beast, Lu finds herself trapped in Wolf’s Belly, a magical dimension holding all the things the wolf has eaten. To escape, she must win over and unite the other fairytale survivors, including a stubborn Knight and the fourth Little Pig.
You can read a sample and order it wherever you buy books. Wolf’s Belly is out in the US on July 7, 2026.

Highland Pro
Highland Pro is the app my company makes for screewriters. Every word I’ve written for the past 10 years has been in Highland. The new version is incredible.
You can get Highland Pro for Mac, iPad and iPhone on the App Store. It’s much better than Final Draft, at a quarter of the price.
