NEW BOOK PROJECTS
Almost Invisible
Over fifteen years ago, before RIP SQUEAK®, Leonard and Susan began working on a project based on some very small creatures they had named PIXQUIKS™. The book has gone through a number of evolutions and the final draft of a fantasy novel for Young Adults is now completed and waiting for a publisher. Leonard is currently working on a number of new illustrations, mainly black and white, for this book.
Story Summary:
Cleo and Ramses get shuffled off to their grandfather’s house when their single mom is shipped off to a war zone. They not only find their grandfather’s home most unusual, they discover other residents there, some that Grandpa didn’t even know about. Soon after they meet these secret residents, they become enmeshed in an adventure that takes them far from home and, if their plan succeeds, they just might save more than the human race!

Story
Summary
A
lovely and sweet story about a young, feisty girl with a very ill
mother. Out of pure love and a sincere belief in magic, she sets
off on a secret quest to save her mom by locating the woodland
fairy that once saved her grandmother years before. Her search
takes her from California to the home of some rather unique and
interesting relatives in England, and with the aid of a doubtful
cousin and a rather quirky museum curator, she adventures into an
enchanted
world.
