Children’s Book Series by Simone Cannon – Vision-Led Publishing with Scalable Impact
Under the pen name Simone Cannon, I independently developed and launched three original children’s book series: Fairyville Adventures, Magic Act, and Frankenstein Kids. Across these titles, I wrote and produced a total of 13 books, each designed to spark imagination, build empathy, and entertain young readers through diverse, character-driven storytelling.
- 📚 Fairyville Adventures (6 books): Introduces Tasha and Cleona, a fairy who emerges from a television to grant a life-changing wish
- 🐶 Magic Act: Follows Anthony and his witty, talking dog Cougar on playful, enchanted adventures
- 👾 Frankenstein Kids: Features Deshawn, Marty, and Saturnado—a space alien crash-landing into a yard of wildly intelligent misfits
To bring these projects to life, I managed every phase of production:
- ✍️ Original Writing: Developed series concepts, dialogue, and narrative arcs
- 🎨 Creative Direction: Commissioned illustrations through vetted Fiverr artists
- 🛠️ Editing & Layout: Collaborated with freelance editors and layout designers via Fiverr and Elance (now Upwork)
- 📦 Self-Publishing Operations: Oversaw digital formatting, quality control, and publication workflow
Each book reflects my ability to blend content creation with strategic outsourcing, ensuring professional-quality results while maintaining creative control. The project also reinforced my strengths in brand voice development, vendor management, and visual storytelling for young audiences.
Simone Cannon YouTube Channel – Stories That Move, Messages That Matter
This channel brings the world of the Magic Act children’s book series to life through engaging visuals and vibrant storytelling. It launched with an animated short featuring Anthony and his talking dog Cougar. Originally created over a decade ago, this video reflects the early stages of a multimedia storytelling journey that continues today. Though built with PowerPoint animation and voiceover, it laid the groundwork for a visual style focused on movement, music, and engagement—techniques I still apply in new ways.
EminencePlaza – Scaled Design, Curated Expression
EminencePlaza is an active Etsy storefront featuring message-driven apparel and imaginative wall art rooted in social commentary, empowerment, and humor.

Today, the store is streamlined to a curated collection of 28 items. All apparel is designed by me, and select canvas prints are original concepts brought to life through commissioned Fiverr artists. This shop reflects my strength in concept development, outsourced creative direction, and high-volume digital merchandising.

WeStoryBoard – Reimagining History Through AI & Storytelling
WeStoryBoard is a TikTok project rooted in historical accuracy. Each short-form video presents a visual reimagining of biblical characters using AI-generated imagery and voiceover-driven storytelling. By integrating emerging tech with traditional research, I reframe legacy material through tools like DALL·E ( AI-generated imagery), DeepSeek (scene scripting), ClickChamp (video editing), and AI voiceover narration.
Niche Market Ideas Podcast – From Script to Strategy
This podcast repurposes the educational voiceovers originally written and produced for the BVC Domains YouTube Channel—extending their reach and accessibility through audio storytelling. Each episode focuses on a themed set of niche business opportunities, with titles like “6 Unique Relationship Niche Market Business Ideas to Build Your Own Blog” and “7 Unique Health Fitness Niche Market Business Ideas.” By reformatting the original video scripts into podcast episodes, I created a low-lift, high-impact content stream that appeals to aspiring creators, solopreneurs, and domain investors looking for market-specific inspiration. The project reflects a lean media strategy: scripting once, deploying across platforms, and using sound to spark strategic imagination.

MotiveForMoney.com – Digital Asset to Audience Activation
While exploring expired domain opportunities, I secured MotiveForMoney.com based on its brand potential and topical relevance. I built the site as a written companion to the YouTube channel of the same name, which features TikTok compilations on the real costs of daily life. Where the videos capture the frustration, the website provides the follow-through—solution-driven articles like “Navigating the Housing Affordability Crisis” and “Your Guide to Financial Survival” translate collective frustration into practical insight. This project reflects my ability to identify underutilized digital assets, shape them into cohesive content platforms, and align voice, value, and brand intent across channels.

This channel documents the raw, unscripted realities of today’s financial pressure—where the cost of living keeps rising and income rarely keeps pace.

Google Data Analytics Certification
Completed Google’s professional certification with distinction, then applied key concepts—data wrangling, EDA, and data storytelling—by building a full Employee Attrition Dashboard. Using Python, Pandas, Matplotlib, Seaborn, and Tableau, I explored real HR datasets to visualize turnover patterns and uncover retention signals. This project demonstrates not only technical fluency, but my ability to translate insights into decision-ready visuals.
