I hired a painter for the art on my covers (all three of them), and then a separate designer to put the actual art and text together. However, the designer is also a talented graphic artist. Send me a message with your email and I’ll pass it on to her. You can speak directly. Link to my book below so you can see the cover.

Hello, I’m the main author of this book. It’s an adaptation of 6,500+ line poem, written in 12th century Georgia. 🇬🇪 The original is maintained in a version of the language almost no one speaks today. I think it’s a great story, and I believe we’ve done it justice in our adaptation.
I’ve kept the chapters short so it’s easy to pick up and put down, and while it is an adventure/romance type story, there aren’t any lightning spells or steamy love scenes. It’s old school medieval, and things are done in a very tasteful and poetic manner - though our writing is in plain English.
Like many old stories, it starts slow, but begins to pick up at around chapter 4 (about 18 pages). I pop in and out of Reddit, and have no other social media, so I’ll happily answer any questions or comments anyone has. That said, I hope you’ll enjoy the read.
Story Description:
More than 1,000 years ago in the Kingdom of Arabia, a woman named Tinatin is crowned as King. She doesn't know it yet, but a young Knight named Avtandil is in love with her. He's overjoyed by her coronation, because it means he will be able to see her more often. However, before he has a chance to confess his feelings, tragedy strikes.
A Black Knight wearing the skin of a panther and riding a midnight steed appears from nowhere. He butchers countless Arabian soldiers before vanishing from sight. Despite searching the entire Kingdom, no one can find a trace of the man. It's as if he never existed.
In an effort to uncover the secret of the Knight in the Panther Skin, Avtandil undertakes a perilous quest. Alone and facing impossible odds, he must succeed in battling himself and the world if he’s to ever return home and win the heart of Tinatin. The only problem is, he’s not sure if the Black Knight is a man or a monster…
Avtandil's Quest is the first of three books retelling the Knight in the Panther Skin, a legendary epic poem set in an age lost to time and history. The original work is from the 12th century and was composed by Shota Rustaveli during Tamar Mepe's rule. She was King of medieval Georgia in its golden age, and according to legend, he wrote it for her.
This book marks the first time in history the story has been told as an English novel.
