Gayle signed with a literary agent on her last day in the program and, not shortly thereafter, signed her first publishing contract!

Terrill Sullivan is an award-winning author-illustrator. His debut YA graphic novel, Endurance: The Frozen Keep, is book one in a historical fiction adventure series based on Ernest Shackleton’s epic Trans-Antarctic voyage from 1914-1917. (Book two recently became available for preorder with a release date of July 4th, 2024!)
I first connected with Terrill when he posted some of his illustrations from Endurance: The Frozen Keep. They were so good! Despite not being a history buff, I was intrigued. So I reached out to Terrill and, after cautioning him that I didn’t know much about this historic event, read his book and…LOVED it! No kidding. The storyline follows a fascinating sailing expedition, but what I connected with most were the characters and the beautiful illustrations. Terrill does an amazing job of weaving in multiple historically significant events in an exciting and engaging way, telling parallel, emotionally charged stories of saving whales amidst the beginning of the Industrial Age, fighting in the trenches in World War One, and navigating a treacherous sea expedition. With themes of romance, courage, and survival, it’s a powerful, intriguing, and very compelling read. Additionally, Terrill’s second book in the series: Endurance: The Beckoning Shore, provides the “end of the story” and releases on July 4th, 2024! I JUST started reading an early copy, and it is really good. Congratulations, Terrill!
Terrill is inspiring because not only does he bring historic events to life through engaging, intriguing storylines, but his immense talent as an illustrator wraps the story in such beautiful graphics that the reader is captivated and transported immediately. I love that he has expanded his creative talent into the graphic novel arena, combining his amazing illustrations with his compelling writing. He is also very kind, personable, and a joy to get to know. 🙂
Go ahead and check out Terrill’s Endurance series! Book one is available to read immediately, and book two is available for preorder with a release date of July 4, 2024.
