“Bluebeard And Me”

I released a book! I wrote this iwth the help of the Independent Publisher’s Resource Center located in Portland, Oregon. I was lucky enough to be in there Comics Cohort program and got to learn so much alongside amazing creators.

My book is about 25 pages long and follows my life story through 2 major relationships. The book uses ‘Women Who Run With the Wolves” as a template, particularly the story of Bluebeard as a backdrop to explain the archetypes and themes of the “wild Woman” and Bluebeard as a initiation process.

Using this story, I go into two abusive relationships, discussing falling in love, and when the comfort began to fall apart and became unsafe. It was a hard book to write. I didn’t eat or sleep while inking, but it the end I am happy and releived that I have told my story. I look forward to hoping to never have to tell this story again!!
