I received a nice surprise yesterday in the mail, the first printed copy of Bigfoot and Dodo: Together at Last<\/em>!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was fortunate enough to co-write this series with my talented & hilarious friend, Audrey Vernick. We\u2019ve finished writing the first three books in the series. Now it\u2019s up to illustrator Joelle Dreidemy to do the heavy lifting with the illustrations. Not easy work, since every joke pretty much lives and dies with the way Joelle\u2019s visuals set up and support and enrich the text. We\u2019re confident in Joelle\u2019s bright sense of humor & big time skills.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This first book won\u2019t be out until February of 2027. For both Audrey and me, this is our first graphic novel, so it\u2019s exciting to try something new here in my 40th year as a published author. Thank you, Simon Spotlight, for the opportunity.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a few sample spreads . . .\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
