Hi everybody, I have an exciting new project to share with you. New York based author Thomas More is in the process of creating an all new book series titled the Mannahatta Series. I don't want to give too much away but, as you can see from the artwork, the main character of the series is a strong Lenape (Delaware) Nation woman named Sakima. In this universe, the Lenape (Delaware) Nation of New York are visited by an ancient civilization from beyond the stars. These otherworldly visitors share their technological advances with the Lenape, and together, they create an enchanted island that floats among a sea of clouds for hundreds of years. However, the ancient monsters of Lenape myths and legends escape the floating island and arrive in present day New York City. Sakima, alone and unaided, must figure out a way to stop these denizens of the dark from spreading chaos and destruction in their terrible wake. What makes this series so unique is that the author has done his due diligence with research. He has taken the time to study the Lenape so that he can truly portray this tribe and their beliefs in a positive and authentic manner. He has also reached out to several Native American singers, storytellers, and writers (myself included) to act as cultural and historical advisors. I am excited to be a part of this project and you too have the opportunity to be a part of it as well.

What Reviewers are saying...
"The Age of Myths and Legends will take you on an exciting journey through Native American folklore. T.D. Hill artfully draws together characters from many indigenous traditions including his own, exposing both the uniqueness of each story and the commonalities across them. Hill’s beautiful paintings also give these fearsome creatures full visual effect. A valuable and thorough collection of the earliest folktales and teachings of Native American elders." |
"Hill takes you on a mesmerizing journey through the tales of monsters and evil beings in Native American folklore. The similarities among the tales across peoples fascinated me and gave me goose bumps, especially when great distances separated the peoples! Hill's art masterfully adds a visual chill to the image his words paint, eliciting an extra shiver of delighted terror." |
"Perfect for those who love mythology, and especially mythology of the First Americans. I’m definitely looking forward to the next in the series." |
