My son Devin did a terrific job illustrating Mrs. Marlowe's Mice, which is the follow up to Mr. Maxwell's Mouse and is now in bookstores.Many thanks to those of you who voted Mr. Maxwell's Mouse best children's book of 2006. Thanks also to NPR for including it in their children's books review at Christmas time.

Time Twister, the third book in the "cardboard genius" series will be out in the Spring of 2008.

I'm currently working on a book called The Daily Star, another longer length style picutre book which is about a boy whose father works for a tabloid.

I've already written a new play for next year's SolarFest "Theatre in the Woods" production which will take place July 12-13, 2008 . Last year over six hundred people attended Humpty Dumpty's Dream. Jan said it was my best play yet, but she says that every year. You can find out more about SolarFest by visiting Solarfest.com

Many of you have inquired about purchasing Jan's children's music album on CD. It is in the works and hopefully will be available on this website sometime in 2007. New songs include "Monsieur Saguette and his Baguette" and "Happy Birthday, Moon".

Jan and I have had to cut down on school visits since we now spend five months of the year in Hawaii, but if you are really intent on having us perform for your school we would consider coming in October or May unless of course your school is here on one the islands. *Download our School Visits Brochure (PDF)* ?

I love hearing from all of you, but practically speaking, if you would like a response, email is always best.

If you want to send me artwork or letters that do not require a response, mail them to me at
