About Us
Beautiful Books
I am, first and foremost, a writer. Stories are my joy and lifeblood. Since I was a child I've made up endless worlds, adventures and poetry to go with it, all with beautiful, vivid images. So, as years passed, more of my writing became art journaling, and I started to develop my artistic skills with my illustrations. Now, my stories and art are being published as Collectible Handmade Miniature Books by Booksby Press. A magic house, a Bookwyrm in the attic, and a woodland portal to infinite worlds are just the start of the adventures in my series.
I also have illustrated poetry books available at my events, and ebooks will be available soon!

Poetry Postcards
People love poetry. Surprising, I know. But poetry is like dessert, a rich, decadent chocolate buttercream cake. A single slice is pure bliss and satisfaction, but a whole cake will make one sick. The same with Poetry. I realized that people loved my poems, but few could handle a full book, and so I started doing my Poetry Postcard collections. Sets of beautifully illustrated cards to go with poetic themes, just the right amount of dessert for the soul (maybe some extra for a friend! :)
Healing the Heart with Art
That's my goal with my "Love Letters to the Universe" Project- creating a story of joy and a touch of healing in the life of a stranger by giving them an unexpected gift: a letter full of cards, small books, mini stories, art supplies, mini journals with handmade art, activities, dried flowers, bookmarks, and more. Each one is unique, a little collection of handmade and upcycled goodies to inspire creativity, joy, and hopefully a bit of faith in humanity & life returned. I gift them randomly to people I come across or leave them in places where they are easily found.
We never know what the people around us are going through, loss & grief & feelings of emptiness or suicide. It's so easy to overlook the people we cross paths with ever day, but never really speak too- the grocery store clerk, the postman, our very neighbors (I come across even more since I travel so much)- so I want to do my part to be a bit of light in their world, and encourage others to do the same in their life. I believe that our actions create the world we live in, so if we want magic in it, we must make the magic ourselves.
I also reguarly post art journaling pictures from my own work and tips/ideas for creativity on my blog and social media, feel free to follow!

the Fairy Queen
Victoria Rose is just your normal, average Fairy Queen touring her way around the world in search of flowers, adventures and chocolate.
After growing up in a library, she studied English and Philosophy at Kent State University, before starting out on her adventures. She spent a couple years living in a tree house with her pet possum and decided it was time to start sharing some of her art through her unique illustrated poetry books, fantastical short stories, and Love Letters, giving a peek into her fantasy worlds and silly adventures with other souls seeking beauty and magic in the world.
She has also been a freelance journalist for the Del Norte Triplicate newpaper, been published by Purpose Fairy and Ohio GAMERS magazine among others, and performed as her best Fairy Queen self with Dreamweavers Productions of Dragon Scales and Fairy Tales.
Now she lives at the edge of the forest with her handsome prince Hubby and their pet unicorn Ioana.
