Coming December, 2025

Sometimes you do a book and it doesn’t turn out quite the way you had hoped and other times you do a book and think, Wow! This turned out better than I thought it would. A Stickler Valentine is the third stickler book I’ve done and its illustrations are my favorite of the three.
