The 'Queen of Horror', When it comes to writing horror, Ina Louise Jackson is the female equivalent to Stephen King. Her ability to twist a tale keeps you on the edge of your seat. You are dragged into the story in such a way you feel you are actually there, witnessing the events first hand, kicking and screaming along with the other participants.

Ms Jackson's first comic is not horror based, but it is still aimed toward a more mature audience. While young children may be enticed by the colours, the subtle humour may pass them by.
Thomas is about a talking, former magician's rabbit with a sharp, devilish wit who, through a string of mishaps at Heather's twenty-fifth birthday celebration winds up living permanently with Heather. Heather herself is the last of a long line of gypsy fortune tellers, but unfortunately she has no genuine talent, or even a clue of how to become a fortune teller and fulfill her destiny. This coupled with her inability to take it seriously and a dry off-the-wall sense of humour gives Thomas a playground made to order.
James, Heather's bumbling, naïve sheepdog gives Thomas an open book to prank after prank, while Heather's diverse Persian cat, Peaches, quietly and quickly develops a penchant for Thomas.
Cassie, Heather's best friend and neighbour, happily operated her flower shop until Thomas showed up and gave a new and improved meaning to Murphy's Law.
Cassie's Lhasa-Apso, Nicky, who used to be prissy and quiet prior to Thomas' arrival, suddenly transformed into being hyperactive, mischievous, and cunning which delights Thomas to no end.
Greg, the long time family friend, has always had a little bit of a bent sense of humour; he owns a magic store and he has seen Thomas in action before.
Everyone has always wondered, deep down, if it was Thomas that drove Hector the Magician to the brink of madness, and now they are about to find out.
The cartoons enclosed depict the string of events that lead up to the arrival of Thomas into Heather's life.

Ms Jackson's second comic was released September 2020, just in time for Halloween.
The adventure begins when friends, Heather, Thomas, James, and Peaches, accept an invitation for a two week vacation at Thomas's long lost Godfather’s country side castle. With Halloween just around the corner it seems the perfect setting.
Thomas's Godfather has not laid eyes on him since he was a wee bit of a kit and knows nothing of his mischievous antics. But he is about to find out as Thomas lets loose causing hysterical mayhem and havoc at every turn.

Ina is currently working her next horror story, tentatively named "Stuart". We do not know much about "Stuart" other than it is a ghost story.

Melanie's Magic, by Kelly Blackwood → The people of Nod are spinners of fine silks and every little girl dreams of spinning silk for the King and Queen. Melanie is no different.

Can Melanie overcome her fears and take the leap, or is she destined to swing and dream forever?
Tommy's Bike, by Lynn Henderson → Tommy gets a new bike. It has three wheels, a bell, and clickers on the spokes. There is only one problem with the bike, Tommy is too short to reach the pedals. But that doesn't stop him from enjoying his bike, and with his dad they solve this problem.
The Girl and the Toad, by Lynn Henderson → In this story, a lonely little girl sets out to find her prince by kissing a frog. She learns that the story of the frog and the princess was changed in the telling, and she actually has to find a toad prince.
