What’s Next?
I working on a new 5-book series of early elementary chapter books geared for ages 5-8+. Much like the first series, Bandana Acres, this series will be set in White Oak Woods in Missouri (near Bandana Acres) and feature unloved, under-appreciated, and unwanted animal characters who provide beneficial services and demonstrate character growth through adversity.
Here’s a sample sketch from Claudia Gadotti of one of the characters: Pip O’Possum and her joeys.
And, I’m working on another idea…
I’m learning about interior and cover design and hope to offer these services later this year. If you know of any young writers who’d like a print copy of their book to keep, or to actually publish, let me know. I’ll offer young writers an excellent deal. Those of you who know me know I love helping kids.

Two boys. One battle. A life-changing encounter.
Jemmy Martin left his Texas farm and followed Confederate General Sibley's Army into New Mexico to keep his mules safe. Now after the Battle of Valverde he's protecting Willie, an orphaned drummer boy with a broken arm. Cian Lochlann is an Irish orphan who gave up gold prospecting to join the Union Army. All he wants is a full belly and a strong man to lead him into an unknown future. Both are pulled toward a distant mountain pass in New Mexico territory where the decisive battle of Gen. Sibley's New Mexico campaign will be fought. Called the "Gettysburg of the West" the Battle of Glorieta Pass will test both boys as they face their worst enemy.
