I can hardly believe it - my second illustrated novel is COMPLETE!
When I set out on this journey with Laura, Josephine was just a side character. She was a foil to Laura's innocence. What's better than a pair of roommates with diametrically opposed attitudes about love and sex? Months and months later, I'm delighted to see how Josephine has grown and changed, and even found love, although if it wasn't exactly where she was looking...
I sincerely hope you enjoy the finale even half as much as I enjoyed writing it!

What comes next?
Neither Laura the Bold nor Josephine on Fire were supposed to be six month projects, but here we are, almost a year out! These two stories - plus content packs - were nearly a quarter million words. That's almost 1000 pages not including the illustrations!
We've certainly had a lot of fun in university, but it's time to branch out.
Ultimately, I'm left with a strong desire to do some short, spicy, focused stories. Expect a few months of new characters, exciting ideas, and new illustration techniques!
Laura the Bold and Josephine on Fire - Remasters!
You might have noticed I've grown as a writer and illustrator this year. I want to bring ever chapter of these first two books up to the standard that I can currently produce! This work will continue in the background, and I'll be sure to let everyone know when it completes.
Website Updates and Content Formats
I'm working on bringing payment processing in-house! This avoids Patreon taking a cut, and allows me to integrate MUCH better and provide a better experience to my supporters. It also will allow me to make some changes to the website - specifically, I want to make the notion of "content packs" more universally available, and browse-able. Stay tuned for more there - the work is just beginning. If you are a designer or front end dev, and interested in helping, please let me know!
THANK YOU!!!
You all keep me going. Thank you for your comments and financial support. And most importantly, thank you for enjoying the things I work so hard to create!
With love,
Theo Hartley
