Shayla’s World

The events of Ghosts of Innocence, The Ashes of Home, and Wrath of Empire take place just over sixteen thousand years in the future.

The location of Earth has long been lost by Shayla’s time. Even its existence is little more than a legend, with histories and simple common sense hinting that humanity must have originally started off on just one world.

A collection of maps and plans of planets, towns, buildings, and ships. Many of the images are rough hand-drawn sketches that form a large part of my worldbuilding process. You will find that most of these sketches are not only rough but incomplete. For worldbuilding purposes, I generally only flesh out enough detail to guide the story. There are also more complete and polished drawings. Producing those images was not necessary for the writing process, but was a satisfying activity in its own right.
