Hello, dear readers! As I'm sure many of you heard already, I was so sad to hear the recent news that Tapas has announced it will be shut down :( This platform is very dear to my heart, becoming my go-to place for reading and posting since 2017.
I'm not sure when these changes will happen, but I'm so disappointed it's right when I'm preparing to release a second series, House of Seaglass, as well as continue my baby, Prince and the Raven.
But I'm still dedicated to keeping these stories alive, and as I move to other platforms, I will keep you posted! Right now I'm considering moving to Webtoon, Ko-Fi, and my own website. Please let me know if you have any suggestions, and thank you always for the love and support you Tapas readers have given me over the years! <3<3

Hi guys! I'm so sorry it's been awhile, but I wanted to give some updates!
First of all, spooky season is nearly here, which means I am revving up again for this comic!! I truly love "Prince and the Raven," and keep wanting to make it what I hope it will be. I will not give up on it, even if I need time for other projects sometimes :)
I admit that this year, I needed a break from my comic as I became helplessly obsessed with drawing mxtx art over the spring and summer ^^; I simply needed some time to follow my heart and reignite my passion for drawing.
So while I did that, I also finally got the hang of maintaining social media as a business, which was a big weight on my mind. I was so anxious trying to do well on instagram, but I finally branched out to tiktok and twitter, which has lessened the pressure immensely!
I wish I could redo my old old pages, but currently I will do my best to RESUME UPDATES IN SEPTEMBER!!
Your support and comments truly do encourage me and keep me going, so I hope you'll continue to support this comic! ^^ Thank you all, I'll see you soon!!

YAY!! grats!!! <3 /o/
Hello all! I sincerely apologize for my impromptu hiatus, but I'll slowly begin working again this weekend on P&R!
Last month took a big toll on my mental well being, and while I'm doing better, I have to take baby steps before I'm ready to run again. I still love this comic and want to be excited to work on it! I need to do more self care and encourage myself to get my confidence back up, but not to worry, I will be back soon!!
Miss you guys,
Steph

Yeah, take care of yourself, you don't have to worry about us. I hope you feel better soon
Mental and physical health always comes first.
I used to be in the SCA. One way of venting was to take a practice sword (or a baseball bat!) and bash a telephone pole. You probably would rather follow some of the helpful hints in https://www.amazon.com/Burnout-Secret-Unlocking-Stress-Cycle/dp/198481706X
Thank you, you guys are so sweet! T.T
Sometimes when it comes to doing a comic, it's best to do it when you want to do it then do it when you feel you have to,. It becomes a job, it becomes stressful and then it makes you look at it with 'eh'.
So take care of yourself. You do you and be happy! We're here to support you. The real ones anyway. Not here to support another page popping out. you cant make good comics without good healthy artists!

Hey guys! I'm so sorry I haven't been on here in awhile. I was really overworked the past few weeks, and am recovering from burnout. I work two jobs and school, so it all got to be a bit much ><
I'm arranging to take a real vacation for personal projects, but in the meantime, you can check out this WIP bonus story on my Ko-Fi! (Viewable by everyone! :) Get a peek at what the Erlkonig (Elf King), was like before he met our friend Owen!

Thank you, you're always so sweet! 😊 <3 I truly love this comic and crowd on Tapas. I truly miss you guys when I'm away. It's my happy place, so I'll for sure be back when I have time to indulge myself!
Feast your eyes and weep on the majesty of the Elder raven!!
I love my old cover, but I thought I'd add a new book cover, what do you guys think? O.O

If you support me on Ko-Fi for as little as $3, you can see that and other extra art for the comic that I don't post here! (Don't forget to create an account so you can unlock it for 30 days ^^ ) Link here:

Ko-Fi is like a less-pressure version of Patreon, where you can donate once to unlock certain things, or donate monthly to unlock others! But there's plenty of things viewable by everyone for fun extra content! (Like character designs for ELDER! O.O)

Happy Holidays to those celebrate, and even if you don't I hope you have a safe and warm couple of weeks! :) Thank you so much for joining me this year. Tapas really provides a pleasant escape for me, and I hope it does for you too!
Happy holidays, and that picture is really pretty!
I feel guilty for not sharing more last week for October, so here's a mock page of an upcoming scene from my Instagram! We don't do meet cutes here, someone's getting poisoned, or I'll eat my hat.
Enjoy, my beans! :)
As always, I appreciate all of my readers and am thinking of you guys even when I can't post. Your comments, ink and support help motivate me to make webcomics my full time job! Happy Spooky season <3
