BONUS: Dreamwalker (25.05.25)
Bonus Special Episode: My second book
Hey,
I know it’s early. This isn’t the usual Episode every Sunday, but a special announcement: my second novel, Dreamwalker, will release next month!
Like Meliade before it, Dreamwalker is a hybrid novel, merging original art, design and experimental layouts with a story set in the world established in my first book.
Set six months after the events of Meliade, this is the story of Franz Ansam, a Dreamwalker - a man crawling through minds, interacting with people's dreams. When tasked with helping a young woman recover her memory, Franz must battle not only her darkness but his own.
It's a fiery, intense story and one that pays tribute to ideas and characters that accompanied my journey for over a decade.
Above is a short animation I created as a trailer. The incredible musical track is called 'Thought Constructs' produced by Nahrendorf, and available Here.
Franz is a character introduced in Meliade in a secondary role. It was my intention to both explore his personal story, as well as continue the events established in Meliade. While I hope I’ve achieved something of both, Dreamwalker is mainly his story, focusing on his ability to appear inside people’s dreams, and his broken relationship with his father.
To those who read Meliade, not to worry: Avryll Rétierre also returns, this time as a secondary character. I’ve done my best to make sure her story also continues, though in a reduced role.
There’s another 5 characters that appear here, some of which had been planned or teased during Meliade. Others appeared straight from the Unconscious, completely unplanned but ready to go. It was a joy to get to meet them and I hope you’ll wish to experience the same journey.
More info soon and keep an eye on my Instagram for further updates.
Blessings,
