Featured Book: Foxfire’s Burden
An Asian-Inspired Fantasy Quest
Craig’s debut novel introduces readers to a kingdom where duty collides with desire and magic carries a heavy cost. The richly imagined setting fuses eastern aesthetics with western fantasy traditions, creating an epic tale of peril, passion, and myth.
Sketchbook to Saga: How a Single Scene Became Foxfire’s Burden
Every story begins with a spark. For Foxfire’s Burden, it was a single sketch: a fox-tailed figure standing alone at the edge of a storm-lit forest. That moment—raw, mysterious, and full of tension—would become the seed for an entire saga. What started as a doodle grew into a character wrestling with loyalty, forbidden love, and the crushing weight of destiny.
The Cost of Magic: Why Consequences Make Stories Stronger
In fantasy, magic often dazzles. Spells save the day, artifacts glow, heroes rise. But what if every use of magic carried a price? In Craig’s worlds, power isn’t free—it leaves scars, shifts alliances, and sometimes destroys the ones wielding it.
East-Meets-West: Weaving Cultures Into Fantasy Without Losing Soul
Many fantasy tales draw from familiar medieval Europe. Craig’s stories step elsewhere—into the silken threads of Asian aesthetics woven with western narrative arcs. From architecture inspired by pagodas to philosophies echoing Confucian and Buddhist thought, the worlds feel lush, layered, and new.
