A Future Where Humans Have Evolved To The Size Of Insects And Intertwine With Their World
“Mind blowingly beautiful” is how Annalee Newitz at io9.com described the art work of Prophets of the Ghost Ants – Part One, The Roach Boy illustrated by Mozchops aka Paul Phippen.
My cross-genre novel depicts a future when humans adapt to a destroyed planet Earth by growing smaller with each generation until they are in parity with the planet’s only other survivors, insects and other arthropods.
I had always wanted to do an illustrated version of Ghost Ants — the content was just so visual and several reviewers and one well known author recommended I get some picture so readers could wrap their heads around the scale of the world. When I saw Mozchops’ graphic novel Salsa Invertebraxa, I knew that he was the artist to do it. His book was the Sistine Chapel of insect art and I knew he would respond to my novel. He’s an illustrator in the ranks of Gustav Dore, Maxfield Parrish and James Gurney. I am really excited to see what he does for Part 2, A People of the Blood.
The book is available as a Kindle ebook at Amazon.
