Intrepid young Casey Wilde and his rebellious friend, Pike will be central to any Whistlebrass saga.
Teenage vixen, Bootsy Bamberger's brief appearance in the first book created so much interest that she earned a spot center stage in 'The Whistlebrass Storm Watcher'. There's also a somewhat edgy new girl named Fae who arrives with a traveling carnival and winds up ruffling Bootsy's feathers. Both are crucial to the plot and supply a lot of girl-power when the chips are down.
Several other familiar faces make appearances including Casey's little sister, Pearl who is turning out to be a very unusual child. The fun of working with a series like this is developing a cast of characters and letting different ones shine as the stories develop.
We are currently at work on the third book in the series. This time around, Bobby Bamberger (Casey's pal from book one) is back in a big way. We are having a lot of fun developing the series.
We are thrilled and gratified that, judging by the kind and generous reviews we're receiving, readers seem to be enjoying the books as well.

Do you have any advice on how to get started in illustration? I graduated with a degree in illustration/storyboarding four years ago and have been working outside the field (to pay the bills). I am working on several graphic novels but am interested in work as a freelance illustrator as well.

I don't know if it is the right place to do it, but I really wanted to thank you for the copy of the Whistlebrass strom watcher which I recieved. I love your drawing! I wanted to say that I will write a review of this book, but that it might take a while because I have ordered the first book on Amazon and it will arrive somewhere in January. So it will take a while before I have read the first and the second book. ?
