I love folklore, fairytales, gothic fiction, science fiction and fantasy — anything that reminds me that we are all creators of worlds. All of us.

But sometimes we forget. Life is busy and there are bills to pay, and imagination seems like a luxury we can’t afford.

What a treat then to spend a few minutes with our inner heroine. The one who digs her toes into the cool earth, whispers her secrets into the rivers and streams, and feels the sharp wind on her cheek.

My “Tales from the Moors Country” images may seem like they spring from the pages of a mysterious storybook, but they are really the gift of a little journey into your own imagination. The same gift received from beloved books and films. It is my sincere hope that these stories entertain and inspire you, and that you carry them along with you on your own creative journey.
