Biography
The Journey Began with Pip the Dragon
When I was seven years old, a high school concert band came to my elementary school to give a concert. Although us little tykes were obliged to sit crossed legged on the cold of the gym floor, once the band began to play I was transported. I closed my eyes and let the music wash over me, and for the first time in my life I watched as stories appeared before my mind’s eye. I was introduced to a dragon named Pip, and as the music played, I became privy to her many adventures.
It was not until two years later that I put pen to paper and wrote out Pip’s epic dramas, but in the meantime I entertained my younger brother and sister with tales of her exploits. As I grew, Pip grew with me, her world evolving from a fantastical island located somewhere off the coast of British Columbia to a country, and finally into an entire world called Omorbia.
I never did stop listening to music, and so Pip’s adventures, which morphed gradually into the Tales of Omorbia, also evolved. And although Pip is no longer a main character in many of those Tales, she still has a major part to play in the fate of the world of fantasy.
Because the Tales have been, from their genesis, so richly visual in nature, here I introduce you to my world through short videos. The Tales will, once a number of them have been amassed, be turned into an eBook for your perusal. In the meantime, allow yourself to become lost in Omorbia.
