Hello, I’m Eric Orchard. I’ve written and illustrated graphic novels, picture books, and illustrated prose. I’m known for my graphic novels Maddy Kettle and Bera The One Headed Troll. I think of myself as a visual storyteller. I love telling stories with words and pictures. I write fantasy, fairy tale stories and darkly creepy tales for kids of all ages.
