Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description
In a melancholic city of towering skyscrapers, bombarding billboards and blinding screens, resides a dopamine addicted society. The hustle and bustle of day precedes the lonely isolation of night, as they return, alone, to soulless utilitarian apartments where screens consume their remaining waking hours. Spiralling further into depression and anxiety, consuming more but never being nourished, one Man falls into a mysterious underworld, where a metamorphosis begins… And when he eventually returns to the city above, a seed travels with him. A seed of community. A seed of hope.

About the Author

Tamlyn is an artist, illustrator and props designer, who migrated to Australia when she was 13. In 2013, she left a corporate career to learn how stories are told through art. Tamlyn’s passion is to create works that give hope in challenging times, spark curiosity and bring individuals together by opening their eyes to truth and meaning. In 2017, she completed a Masters in Production Design at Victorian College of the Arts. Since then, Tamlyn has worked in the art department for various films and TV productions, including The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart, Territory (Netflix), Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Peter Rabbit 2, Shang-Chi (Marvel Studios) and North Shore. Other works include co-designing and art-finishing the David Jones Christmas Windows for MacGyver Models (2017-2023) as well as freelance commissions for illustration and sculpture. She has illustrated a number of picture books, including The Other Side of the Clouds (2024, Riveted Press), designs book covers and illustrates chapter books. SoXiety is her debut as an author/illustrator and is the first in a ground-breaking collection of almost-wordless graphic novel style picture books for teens and adults, titled The Book of Kin.Β
