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!
Got some last minute extra images done for the book, and since I’m a fighting game fangirl to the highest degree, I gave them character select screens for their mini-bios!
I’ve been so busy that I’ve been forgetting to update Tumblr >.< but for once, I’m ahead of schedule (kinda) so… here’s where I’ll be this weekend!!!
This is my first time at this con and I’m excited to be a guest! I’ll have books from my urban fantasy series with my partner, and I’ll have prints from my upcoming series “magnifiqueNOIR.” I’ll also be taking pre-orders on the book itself!
Cover art and art of Galactic Purple and Prism Pink by Jenn St-Onge!
(and if you can’t make it to the con, you can pre-order the book online HERE)
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.

Here it is, everyone! The cover to the first book in the “magnifiqueNOIR” series!
Shout out to Jenn St-Onge for doing an AMAZING COVER! You can find more of her work on her website HERE! And shout out to ALL OF YOU for your support :)
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 still pledge tiers in the Indiegogo and get fun bonuses HERE!
“I’m just as magical as everyone else.”

Happy Transgender Day of Visibility, magical ones :) Hopefully, having a black, transgender, magical girl watching over you reminds you that there is always someone who sees you.
The ridiculously talented Radiant Grey just sent me this AMAZING ART of Lonnie transforming into her magical girl persona, “Radical Rainbow.” If you weren’t excited for my upcoming book series “magnifiqueNOIR” before IT’S TIME TO GET HYPE!!! Dark skinned, kickboxing, lesbian magical girls ARE EVERYTHING!!!
This is the story of a geeky anime/gaming gal by the name of Chibi. Please fasten your seat belts and prepare for... some sort of ride? Oh! I love to write, and I also love doing crafty things. I go to conventions with my partner and sell woodburned things, clocks, mirrors, and more! So expect to see those on here too :)
