Early Illustrations for Honeyed Myths

1st August 2025

Hi Readers,

I have some exciting news to share! After a long search for the right illustrator for Honeyed Myths, I finally found the perfect fit, and it turns out she has been by my side all along.

My dear friend Nabiha Rahman has stepped in to help bring these myths to life. Many of you already know her name, as I have talked about her on the blog before, and (Spoiler Alert!) the book itself is dedicated to her. She has been encouraging me to publish since I was 16 years old, and now she is lending her incredible artistic talent to the project itself.

Today, Nabiha sent me her first sketch for The Weary God, a short myth exploring the seasons and a father’s grief. I could not be more thrilled, and I wanted to share it with you all right here.

Thank you so much for continuing to support this journey. More updates are coming soon, and I cannot wait to show you what we have been working on!

With love,
Jess x
