What does it mean to be magical?
Who decides who is magical?
What does it take to be magical?
Am I magical?
Are we?
It starts out simple enough: there’s monsters roaming around the city, and there’s girls ready to save the day. They balance their normal lives with their magical lives, and attempt to follow the magical girl formula of proper transformations, elegant attacks, and stunning poses. But even the most dedicated magical girl begins to ask questions. Where are the monsters coming from? Where did their powers come from? Were they the first ones to be appointed as magical girls, because these transformation tools feel well-worn, as if there’s some history behind them.
Is it worth seeking answers to these questions, or is it better to follow the status quo?

Just wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone who came by the table this weekend and supported my new book series “magnifiqueNOIR” this weekend. I’m happy to say that I came home with only three preview books left, and have to order more in time for A-Kon next weekend :)
I’m also happy to announce that if you’re not going to be at a con where I am, you can order the preview book online here!
Thanks so much for the support, and don’t forget: you are magical <3
So one of the things I plan on doing for my new book series is having little comic pages in the book :) They’ll be little illustrated snippets from select scenes in the book.
Enjoy! And don’t forget, you can follow the progress here <3 <3 <3
“Don’t let anyone tell you that you’re not magical.”
Marianna Jacobs is an 18-year-old college student with dreams of being a baker. She often does things by the book and could be considered as the leader of the group. She’s kindhearted and always wants to do what’s best for everyone. As a plus sized girl, she sometimes has moments of being insecure about her weight, but as she progresses as a magical girl, she’s becoming more confident in herself.

Welcome, everyone, to the world of “magnifiqueNOIR”, a book series that delves into the lives of a group of extraordinary magical girls who defend the lives of the people around them. Along the way, they face new challenges that may undo everything that they’ve become, but even so, they always work to be the best women they can be.
This page is dedicated to their adventures, adventures that I feel many others can identify with (minus a horrific monster or two, lol), and I hope their stories can make people realize something very important:
You. Are. Magical.
Many thanks to my good friends over at MuseTap Studios for creating this amazing print of the ladies.
