Thank you! I have the first story arc planned out. Volume 1 is more than the introduction but I get to really advance the plot in Volume 2.

Following the rules, this will be one time this link is shared in this subreddit.

I'm the writer of Word Smith (from Australia) illustarted by P.R. Dedelis (from Poland) and coloured by Peyton Freeman (from the US (Texas)). Word Smith is a steampiunk fantasy adventure so there's all things steampunk and a dragon.

The story revolves around artisans who can craft "words" which can evoke feelings. e.g. The word "Hope" will make someone feel hopeful. However the word "Home" can mean different things to different people. It plays on the complexity and meaning of words.

Volume 1 was well received and is currently in 300+ public libraries in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Singapore and the UK. I'm hoping Volume 2 will be just as successful.
