A New Book Coming In Time for Black History Month!

Ya'll I am so so so so excited! Did I mention I was excited?!  I have been writing for six years now, developing a nice size body of work of various themed children's books.

I am happy to announce that I have my first black history themed book coming out in February 2021!! 

This story is particularly special to me because it is based off my father's real life experience of being one of the first African-Americans to serve as a fireman in my hometown--Eugene, Oregon.  The story takes a difficult issue like racial discrimination  and addresses it in an age-appropriate manner. It will be a great tool for parents and teachers alike to use for teaching empathy, respect, and self-determination.

I will be sharing more as the months get closer to the release date but here is a sneak peak at a couple of preliminary sketches.

 With this project I am working with an illustrator who lives overseas and it has been such an amazing experience. The artist is so talented and I can't wait until the coloring process begins--that's when things really come alive!

Anyway--stay tuned and follow me on my Facebook Author's Page for more updates.
