He has taught International Baccalaureate Visual Arts for the last nineteen years. Nothing qualifies Nokes to write a middle grade adventure trilogy more than his powerful visual, literary, historical, philosophical and cultural perspective acquired through a wide-ranging love of reading and study. He is married to art consultant Jane Elizabeth Nokes. Being the proud father of three beautiful sons (in order of appearance) Jeremy Brock, Johnathan Blair, and Jamie Brendan, qualifies him even more as their early love for words, language, narrative, and their loving kindness towards their stuffed animals represented (as it does for all children) positive, first steps towards our first real integration with the society of people, other like-minded children, and the concept of empathy.

When thinking of Native American History or any history for that matter, “All things are subject to interpretation whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth.” Friedrich NietzscheThe above quote describes what Hardball History desires to explore and bring to light.

Mythology has always detailed the exploits of flawed gods and heroes, but I find the monsters more interesting because they are often misunderstood and subsequently scorned. Monsters are symbols of the oppressed in this world, and they need a voice to express their perspectives. We cannot hear their voices because the authors, through their silence, have denied many monsters’ perspectives. However, the monsters are the protagonists now and I share their experiences through The Story of Typhon and Echidna ©, which details the conjectural lives of the Greek monsters in their youth. (There are 70 completed written and illustrated pages). Plus, this is probably the first ever story from the point of view Echidna, Typhon and their children. This set of stories is an origin tale and I have the sequels written, but they are still awaiting illustration. This compilation of seven interconnecting children’s stories has an overarching theme about not judging others by their appearances. Some sub-themes that appear are learning how to play without hurting others, accepting others who are disfigured, teaching life lessons to siblings, helping the disabled, and building the confidence of those with body image insecurities. This story also details a scenario in which children may grow up without a father figure. Much of my work (children's books, novels, poems, screenplays) focuses on the increasingly relevant PTSD that victims of bullying experience. I often detail the perspectives of those who are persecuted and treated as monsters, whether they are creatures, insects, beasts, plants, or people. Since I consider myself an insect advocate, my writing encourages people to have more empathy and respect for insects, the little monsters who live among us giants. My primary goal as a writer is to prove that benevolent monsters can be just as gorgeous as those who are within the norm of modern aesthetics. If people accept this idea of monstrosity, society may one day see the extinction of bigoted eyes. As for how my illustrations were created, I hand drew the images, inked them with Sakura pens, scanned them into my computer and used Corel Painter 12 to touch up lines as well as color the layers. The goal of my drawing style is to be simple and expressive because I want these images to resemble the innocence of a child’s drawings. Without being too complex, these images should invite children to replicate the pictures through their own drawings. Although I used gradients for the backgrounds, I chose to not shade the characters so they would stand out more to a child’s eye.The Story of Typhon and Echidna also has a Facebook fan page at: https://www.facebook.com/TheStoryOfTyphonAndEchidna?ref=hlThere may be a few subtle mistakes here and there, but keep in mind that this is my first children's book and I will edit them when I get a chance.Also, the two ants on the covers are Squishy (green) and Squeaky (blue) and will be getting their own series as well.
