"Creating a doomsday novel that feels dangerous yet child-friendly"

You and the Clerk crash land into an intoxicating coastal country setting and unwittingly find yourselves on a quest for a bridge to the future. With an otherworldly modernist style that stays grounded yet crosses genres, the illustrated novel enchants, enlists and challenges the reader to complete the mission. Memorable characters drive the plot through transformative events and leave the Clerk and the Ink Drinker in an unexpected place.

The Clerk and the Ink Drinker in the Outer Lands Mission probes the idea of progress, offers the gift of camaraderie, and emerges with more questions than answers.
