The Writer Will Take Your Questions Now (#99) -- Family Legacy

So your daughter has also published her first comic book story. 

How does that make you feel both as a parent and as a writer?

Charis with Bella Morte's Andy Deane

Proud would, of course, be an understatement. Thrilled is closer, but still not quite strong enough a word.

We actually talked about her getting some new projects in development last night. It was awesome to go through open submissions calls for short story anthologies, and figure out which ones she should shoot for and which ones would be a best fit for her interests and style.

Also, she's finished her first full-length comic book script, and the artwork is currently being done by the amazing Lucy Fidelez, who also did her "Grace the Amazing" short comic tale.

And at some point, she's got another comic book project in mind for a character called Kimono Dragon.

You owe it to yourself to check out her blog and website.

Like Father, Like Daughter

FYI, Charis is the pretty one.

I did mention that my 16 year old daughter is a published comic book writer too, didn't I?

She published her first comic book short, featuring her original manga character Grace the Amazing, for Atlanta-based publisher Mini-Komix when she was 15, and has just completed her first full script for a Grace the Amazing book that will be all her very own (32 pages) manga comic for the publisher.

The amazing Lucy Fidelis is drawing the book. You can also check out her work at http://atnwebcomics.com and at http://lucyfidelis.daportfolio.com.

Check out Charis' website at: http://cataylor104.blogspot.com.

Charis is also a prolific fan fiction writer, and that is really improving her fiction writing chops. I'm trying to  push her to tell something with original characters to pursue a published prose work, so fingers crossed.

Here are a few sample pages from the first Grace story so I can show off my daughter's work (and Lucy's too, of course).
