About K. and E. Southworth
Hi! We’re K. and E. Southworth — partners in life, co-conspirators in world-building, and enthusiastic creative nerds.
We are authors, artists, and indie game developers who love stories so much that we don’t just write them — we build entire worlds that readers can explore across books, comics, and games.
Our Creative Philosophy
We believe that fictional worlds should feel like places you can step into. Places you can visit, return to, and make memories in — the way you do with your favorite novel, your first D&D campaign, or that video game that still lives rent-free in your heart.
For us, a story doesn’t end with the last page of a book.
We:
- Write the story
- Illustrate and adapt it into a comic
- Build it into an indie MMO/RPG where you can live inside the world alongside its characters
And the best part?
We create every stage ourselves, maintaining the same art style, tone, and emotional atmosphere across every form. That consistency makes our worlds feel whole — like the story is growing with you, not changing hands or shifting voices.
Experience & Background
We have over 20 years of combined experience in the arts, including:
- Illustration & painting (traditional first — watercolor, acrylic, ink)
- Newer explorations in digital art & character design
- Writing and running Dungeons & Dragons campaigns for two decades
- Writing fantasy and mystery novels long before we ever hit “publish”
- Building game systems, lore bibles, and collaborative story structures
And because we’re also developers — we know how to bring those worlds to life in a playable, interactive way. 🎮✨
Where We’re From
We live near Cleveland, Ohio, not far from the shores of Lake Erie.
When the weather behaves, we love walking by the water, talking story problems, game mechanics, and the occasionally roaring like a dragon.
What We’re Making
Right now, we’re deep into:
- Novels and serialized stories
- Comics and illustrated adaptations
- A growing interconnected RPG world where magic, mystery, and everyday life all coexist
It’s a slow-built universe, designed to last — the kind of world you can return to across years, not just a weekend binge.
You’re Invited
If you love cozy fantasy vibes, sprawling lore, found family themes, and just the right amount of mystical weirdness — you’re one of us already.
Welcome to our worlds.
We’re glad you’re here.
