Character sketches from my (soon-to-be-released) picture ebook!




What's a good kids' story without great illustrations? Not nearly as much fun, I'd say.


 

These awesome characters will populate the picture ebook, Mikey and the Swamp Monster, which I hope to release by late October!
I'd written the story ages ago, and since retirement, pulled it out and tweaked it. With permission from my son Mike (whose childhood imaginings inspired the story), I'm getting the ebook ready to launch. 

For illustrations, I again called on the talent of the incredible Mike Rausch (a different Mike) to add visual life to my words. You may remember that Mike also created the acclaimed cover for my historical fiction novel Risking Exposure
Stay tuned!
