Got to visit the kids at Rodeph Sholom School for their annual book fair. Such a well-done event and there’s no other audience I’d rather be working for than kids.

Well, after several months of work, I just finished writing my next book, working title EOWULF: The Creature Connection. I get to take a short break and then start drawing. Very excited for this one, I think it’s the best writing I’ve done.

Currently reading! Turns out the classics are classics for a reason! What an amazing strip!

The cover for my next book, EOWULF: of Monsters & Middle School, due out early 2024, written and drawn by me with coloring by Irene Yeom. Follows the adventures of the pint-sized descendant of Beowulf as she learns that sometimes the non-monsters are worse monsters than the monsters are!
