AUSXIP Publishing Staff Announcement
We are thrilled to announce the addition of a new staff member to AUSXIP Publishing. Lucia Nobrega has joined our team as our resident Illustrator. It’s a collaboration that has spanned twenty years when Lucia started to illustrate MaryD’s Eva and Zoe series. In addition to Lucia’s extraordinary talents as an illustrator, she’s also one of our writers with her graphic novel “The Little Runaways”!
Who is Lucia Nobrega?
I am Lúcia Nóbrega, a Brazilian comic book writer and illustrator for children. I started my career at the Mauricio de Sousa Studio where I learned my craft with the best teachers. It was at Editora Abril (Abril Publishing) that my carrier really flourished. I wrote many comic books such as Alegria & CIA, Os Trapalhões, As Aventuras dos Trapalhões, Gugu, Little Lulu, Strawberry Shortcake.
Abril is the official publisher of Disney in Brazil so I wrote a few stories for Mickey, Donald and Zé Carioca too. Moving on from that adventure, I became a free-lancer artist and am currently working for various publications.

We are pleased to welcome Taylor Rickard to AUSXIP Publishing and also announce that Taylor’s new book “Redmond Family Cookbook” which is due in the Spring of 2021.
Taylor Rickard has an unusual background. She was raised in the south by a grandmother whose love of Southern history and traditions was instilled in her from an early age. Her grandmother’s dreams for her life included being presented at the St. Cecilia’s Cotillion, marriage to a nice boy from the Citadel, and a life of doing research for the Huguenot Society of South Carolina and raising lovely little Children of the Confederacy. That didn’t happen. She grew up to have multiple careers in her life.She has been a chef, a television producer/director and an information technology architect. But it was that love and knowledge of all things southern that lead her and her partner, T. Novan to begin what would become a saga that follows the lives of a family through the end of the Civil War, the pain of the Reconstruction, and the extravagance of the Gilded Age – so far!
She now lives with her partner on a small farm in rural Kentucky, raising their oldest grandson, working her day job, writing at night, and feeding her family and friends from her extraordinary collection of traditional recipes from around the world.
***
Authors Taylor Rickard and T. Novan have found the recipes for many of the delicious meals described in their books recounting the saga of the Redmond family, from the last days of the Civil War, through the pain of the Reconstruction and the flamboyance of the Gilded Age. Written from the perspective of the latest Charlie Redmond, these recipes reflect the lovely meals described in the series, as well as traditional foods from the last century and a half in the American south. They also provide the context within the novels for the preparation, consumption, and savoring of these dishes – and as we all know, food and drink is at the heart of the tradition of Southern hospitality
