Hey there, magical ones! I have an AMAZING UPDATE for everyone. Here’s a sneak people on how the inside of the book is going to look. Full color illustrations from various artists, fun character profiles, one-shot comic pages, it’s gonna be an extravaganza of black girl magic!
Cover by Jenn St-Onge

Comic Art by ME!
There’s a city. It’s like most other cities. Buildings. People. Monsters who can destroy sidewalks by vomiting acid onto the ground, and an elite group of black, queer, magical girls who work to put those monsters in their place.
See? Just like most other cities.
Bree Danvers would’ve compared it to a video game, maybe a cartoon or comic book, except black girls are rarely the heroines of the story. But there her heroine stood, plus sized and wonderful, rocking a dazzling amount of purple and defeating monsters with galactic sparkles. Galactic Purple, that was her name, and soon, Bree was joining her on a magical adventure full of transformations and after school battles to defend a city like most other cities.
And soon, others would join them, and each one would be magical in their own way… give or take a few bumps on the acid covered ground.

From the wifey: So a while ago a friend tagged me on a gorgeous picture that Ashleigh Beevers Art @mustashleigh mustashleigh had done, and on a whim, I reached out to see if they’d do some art for Magnifique Noir.
THEN THIS GORGEOUSNESS HAPPENED!!!
I cannot contain all the Black Girl Magic I just CANNOT!!! WHY ARE MY ARTISTS SO WONDERFUL?!

I haven’t updated Tumblr in forever but OMG LOOK AT THIS!!! My book is going to be so rad!
Introducing magical girls gettin’ down to business! We have Galactic Purple powering up her signature “Cupcake Bomb.” Not only does it explode, but it has acidic frosting. Next, we have Prism Pink using her seamstress abilities with “Sewn Together Symmetry.” She uses her threads to tie down her opponents, and if they try to move they learn the hard way that the thread is razor sharp.
This art will soon be available as prints of the girls and will also be included in the first book of the magnifiqueNOIR series: I Am Magical.

You can preorder the book HERE!
Check out this feature from Black Girl Nerds! <3 <3 <3
Kickstarter campaign is HERE!
The girls are celebrating a great first week with the Kickstarter (via some adorable art by NamiOki)!
1. There are 82 backers after the first week!
2. We’re already at 6K! This is about 37% of the goal. For the first week, that’s PHENOMENAL!
3. The largest tier “They’re All My Waifus” is SOLD OUT!
4. Remember, you can keep up with what’s going on through the event MagnifiqueNOIR Kickstarter (at least until the 17th since Facebook only lets you have an event for 2 weeks)
I’m also happy to report that I spent a lot of time this weekend talking about the project at Gaylaxicon AND got to talk about it on a podcast (which I’ll link when it’s posted). The support has been amazing and all of you are wonderful!
Remember, if there’s a tier you want, go for it (especially the limited ones) as Kickstarter won’t charge you until the end of the campaign.
I’m gonna relax and actually celebrate my anniversary tomorrow, lol, so until then: GOODNIGHT, MAGICAL ONES <3 <3 <3
(Kickstarter link is HERE)
Good morning, magical ones! Here’s where we are after the first day. I know I’ve said thank you about a million times, but let’s go for a million and one! THANK YOU SO MUCH, everyone! Keep sharing! Keep spreading the word! Keep pledging and encouraging others to do so! Let’s have a great second day :)

AND WE’RE LIVE!!! The Kickstarter for the first book in my magical girl book series is ready to go! The series focuses on a group of black, queer, magical girls who save the world with sparkles, sass, and fabulous hair. The first book, “I Am Magical,” is the start of the adventure, and will be a full-length novel with full colored picture inserts and mini one-shot comics. There are all sorts of fun early bird extras, exclusives, freebees, add-ons, tiers, stretch goals… THE WORKS!
The Kickstarter is HERE! Thank you to everyone who pledges and/or shares the magic :)
