The Pirate Chicken

I have been actively working on creating my own existing IP by writing my debut novel: "The Pirate Chicken," featuring the titular giant chicken, a magical cat, an army of squirrels, and a girl who is trying to find herself.

“The Pirate Chicken”

Novel • Fantasy • In Progress

After a tiny misunderstanding with the all-powerful Witch, Buck the GIANT pirate chicken is now trying to break his curse with the help of a mystical cat. If only he wasn’t being relentlessly pursued across the Seven Airs by his arch-nemesis Squahn and his formidable crew of over-caffeinated squirrels. Not to mention the stowaway blatantly disregarding his fearsome command, the assassin hot on his tail, and his monsoon coffee in dangerously low supply. Will Buck be able to regain any sense of normalcy?
