Meet the Team Behind the Magic

The Creative Minds Fueling The Blackwick Series

It takes a team. Being an indie author means being my own production company and many hours in my ocean room with just my laptop, my calendar, and me. But I’m not alone. From the author community providing writing tips to the readers, like you, who tell me what they enjoyed, I have my own team of fabulous individuals who have helped me bring the first two books of the Blackwick Series to life.

Every book has a team of dedicated professionals behind it, and today I am excited to introduce you to just a few key members of the Blackwick Series team.

First, let me introduce you to the creative force behind our stunning character designs and illustrations: Jolene Scheepers from Enchanted Ink AI Studio.

When I first stumbled upon Jolene’s dragon illustrations on social media, I was captivated by their style—the perfect blend of fantasy and magic. Little did I know that Jolene was more than just an artist; she was also a marketing professional and a passionate creator. The artist behind those breathtaking dragons was none other than Jolene herself. Expecting to connect with a college student, I was pleasantly surprised to discover a dedicated mother and seasoned professional whose no-nonsense yet kind approach won me over instantly.

Jolene’s journey with The Blackwick Series began when she agreed to design our dragons. Her involvement didn’t stop there, as she quickly became intrigued by our series and the challenges authors face in marketing their own books. Over time, Jolene’s role evolved, and her skills have only grown, making her an invaluable part of our creative team.

Through her Enchanted Ink AI Studio, Jolene now offers a wide range of fantasy designs, from frame-ready canvases to T-shirts and puzzles. She’s our go-to for everything from social media designs and branding to custom character images, bookmarks, and chapter decorations. Her work has become an essential element of the Blackwick experience.

Jolene’s illustrations grace the pages of Forever Is Eternity and Legend of Blackwick, breathing life into our characters and enriching the world we’ve created. Her art has made our series more vivid and enchanting, and we’re incredibly grateful for her contributions.

Thank you, Jolene, for being an integral part of our creative journey. We can’t wait to share more of your incredible work with our readers!

Next, meet the meticulous editor who has been instrumental in shaping the narrative flow of The Blackwick Series: Julie Burris.

When Julie began her journey with The Blackwick Series, she took on the daunting task of editing our early drafts. Her passion for literature and keen eye for detail quickly made her a crucial part of the storytelling process. With a deep understanding of character development, plot progression, and narrative pacing, she ensured that each book in the series keeps readers hooked from start to finish.

But Julie’s contributions go far beyond traditional editing. She dives into the heart of the story, offering insights and suggestions that significantly enhance the depth and complexity of our characters. Her ability to see the big picture while meticulously refining every detail has made her an invaluable asset to our team.

From refining the intricate plotlines of Forever Is Eternity to polishing the character arcs in Legend of Blackwick, her editorial expertise is evident on every page. She has played a pivotal role in ensuring that the story flows seamlessly, creating an immersive experience for our readers.

Julie’s work isn’t just about correcting grammar or fixing typos—it’s about bringing out the best in the story and its characters. Her dedication and commitment to the craft of editing have helped elevate The Blackwick Series to new heights.

Thank you, Julie, for your unwavering dedication and for helping to shape The Blackwick Series into the captivating adventure it is today.

Her enthusiasm for the series was contagious, and it wasn’t long before she took on the role of Street Team Captain, rallying others to join her in promoting the books she loves.

Aislynn’s contributions have been nothing short of extraordinary.

But Aislynn’s impact goes beyond just promotion. She has become a key member of our team, providing valuable feedback and ideas that have helped shape our marketing strategies. Her commitment to the series and its success is unwavering, making her an integral part of our journey.
