My Upcoming Release and Cover Reveal

Almost two years after my last book, I'm excited to announce that I have a new release! I'm launching into the territory of a different genre with this one: children's fairy tale retelling. And what's more, it's illustrated. Illustrated! I always dreamed of authoring an illustrated book. The incredibly talented E. Kaiser Writes did the artwork for both the cover and the interior.

And now for the cover!



 
Their lives are saved by a dream. But only friendship can make that dream a reality.

Once upon a time...

Etzel the donkey is getting old, but he works hard on his farm—until the day Herr Hoffman decides he is no longer worth keeping. With no choice but to escape, Etzel sets off on the road to Bremen to seek his fortune as a musician. On the way, he rescues three other animals—a dog, a cat, and a rooster—who are also old and destined for death.

Will these four new friends find their success and worth as musicians in Bremen? Or does the road hold something better?


Based on “The Bremen Town Musicians” from the Grimms' Fairy Tales. Ideal for kids from 7 to 11 years old, but great for all those young at heart.
