Hello!
My name is Miranda Markley and I am a self-taught artist & comic author from the Midwest.
At an early age, I quickly fell in love with art and drew constantly, creating short picture books to share with family and friends. I loved to study images from animated children’s films, graphic novels, and comics whenever I went to the library.
For the longest time, my dream was to be an animator and I didn’t consider comics until my last year of high school, during which I began writing The Spirit Seeds and later illustrated the first book at age 19.
I am a Christian with a passion for making clean stories with strong and meaningful messages that are enjoyable for everyone while also speaking Truth.

A Fruit of the Spirit inspired fairy tale:
Step into the allegorical world of 'The Spirit Seeds,' an enthralling graphic novel series where each magical seed represents a different quality of the Fruit of the Spirit.
Set in a Victorian Gothic Era with modern twists, follow the redemptive journey of Lacey, a spoiled doll collector who wakes up in an unfamiliar hallway. With no memory of how she arrived, Lacey explores the halls in search of answers and quickly discovers she is trapped inside a mansion plagued by a supernatural disease that is harming the animal inhabitants. And to Lacey's displeasure, she is now tasked with finding the only cure, the Spirit Seeds.
That is, if she wishes to return home...

Meet the Characters
Miss Lacey Ashton
“I HATE waiting!”
Lacey became an avid doll collector after she was given her mother’s collection.
She can often be found taking walks alone or cooped up in her room with her dolls. Surely someone with her wealth and status would have friends to show her collection to…
right?
The Doll
This doll caught Lacey’s eye at an antique shop. There was just something about it… but what?
Estate Steward - Mensonge Voleur
Voleur is responsible for overseeing the entire mansion and is considered as a co-Owner. He makes sure everything is running as he deems fit so the Owner doesn’t have to worry about trivial things.
But I wonder… who really is in charge?
The Cook - Ms. Hen
“Who is this darling child?”
Ms. Hen is a kind cook who is responsible for overseeing the Kitchen in the mansion.
Ms. Hen loves children and longs for a family of her own but what kind of family could you have with a hen who cannot lay eggs?
The Mysterious Jardin Brothers
“We’re here to provide a cure for this place.”
Not much is known about these brothers but I did hear a rumor about them…Word on the street is that they’re going around buying up property all over the place.
Whether that’s true or not I cannot say. One thing is for certain though… Mensonge Voleur does not want them around.
I wonder why that is..?
