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.
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 :)
UPDATE! We just crossed $2,500! THANK YOU SO MUCH, EVERYONE!!! Keep sharing, keep promoting, keep using #magnifiqueNOIR, keep doing everything! Let’s bring these girls to life <3 <3 <3

Welcome, everyone, to the world of magnifiqueNOIR, a young adult 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.

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?
The magnifiqueNOIR website is NOW LIVE! Head on over and explore everything the site has to offer. Merchandise, book snippets, character models, convention appearances, and more.
Because the magical girls need casual looks :)
Top pic is Marianna Jacobs, aka “Galactic Purple.” Her looks include:
1. Her look when she’s baking delicious treats <3
2. Her normal, everyday style
3. Pajama fun time!
Bottom pic is Bree Danvers, aka “Cosmic Green.” Her looks include:
1. Her look when she’s doing Let’s Plays for her YouTube channel, “Cosmickaze Bree.” She would do it completely transformed, but Marianna yells at her when she does. Also notice her love for Game Grumps <3 <3 <3
2. Her normal, everyday style, which still has a geeky touch.
3. Pajama fun time! She would be naked, but Marianna yells about things like “decency” and “other people living here, too.” However, if Marianna comes into her room unannounced when she’s naked then that’s Marianna’s fault ;)
Check out more info and updates on the girls on the magnifiqueNOIR Facebook page :)
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
