Before entering the publishing world Apryl focused on film with

Polyphony is now available worldwide and a huge hit in the Green Cinema at the 2008 Coachella Music & Arts Festival and in 2010 won the Gold Pixie Award for animation by The American Pixel Academy.

Skye The Troll & Other Fairy Tales For Children, launched October 2010 and  continues to inspire children of all ages. Inspired by the award-winning cartoon series, the charismatic debut of  this brand new publication features over a dozen original musings and includes an exciting array of four brilliant new artists. This collection sets the bar for children’s entertainment at a charming new level.

…a fresh, new anthology of poetry for both children and the young at heart.

 

 

With a motto like,  "Dedication is key", it’s no wonder she has come this far… Apryl Skies is a superbly visual and telling writer, whose work holds merit among authors both classic and new.

 

Look for Elements & Angels in 2011 and more children’s titles on the horizon.
