Tangled River is a 316-page color science fiction graphic novel; story and art by Michael Cohen writing under the pseudonym snowshadow.

It tells the story of Tanya, a young teenager growing up on an island outpost on a distant planet called Mehra. Tanya is the offspring of space pioneers who traveled from Earth decades ago to found Earth’s first interstellar colony. The settlers attempted to create a new society, only to have all their technology mysteriously fail shortly after their arrival. Over the course of the book, Tanya learns the story behind the event that forced the settlers to live a primitive lifestyle.

When Tanya sees an unknown object in the sky, it begins a series of surprising events that affect the fate of the entire planet. Tangled River is a coming-of-age story that offers commentary on cultural appropriation, mother/daughter relationships, and the art of storytelling itself. It is aimed at a YA audience, with no adult content.

Available in Kindle format on Amazon or in paperback from Indy Planet.
