My New Childrens Book Is Now Available!

In June of 2007, a remarkable and talented young lady contacted me through eBay. Thirteen year old Maggie Mei Lewis had completed a delightful children's story and was looking for an artist to illustrate it. By the spring of 2008, illustrations for Moonlight Memoirs were well underway. I shared each illustration online and auctioned them on eBay. During the fall of 2008, with the illustrations completed, editing began. At this point, Maggie's parents started a publishing business, Good Times Press, LLC. After numerous rounds of editing, the printing process began in the early spring of 2009 with Good Times Press contracting with Self-Publishing, Inc. for even more editing, then layout, design and finally, printing the book both digitally and by off-set printing.

Maggie and I are very happy to present Moonlight Memoirs - Remembering That Family and Friends Are Forever, a culmination of over two years of inspired work, incredibly all done via email and the internet.

Moonlight Memoirs Is a story about two curious mice who venture into a moonlit winter's night. Their outing becomes a life-changing event when they meet an old mouse who beckons them to follow.

This mouse - along with several other animal friends - teaches the two mice a comforting lesson about love's eternal nature.

Moonlight Memoirs is now available for you to purchase from several online locations.
The main source to purchase Moonlight Memoirs is from the brand new website dedicated to the book. I also have a few signed copies here on my blog and (three remaining) copies signed by both author and illustrator here on eBay auction.

The Book Signing!
Meet Maggie Mei and myself at the Baltimore Book Festival on Sunday, September 27, 2009 where we will be selling and signing Moonlight Memoirs in the Children's Authors' Tent from 12 - 7 PM. This will be the first time Maggie and I have met, I can not begin to tell you how excited I am to meet this lovely young woman who I have come to know so well!

Moonlight Memoirs has already received four out of five stars from ForeWord Clarion Review, and a glowing review on Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Program blog.

I created a little gift shop featuring all the images from Moonlight Memoirs. The shop is filling up a bit more each day as I add art gifts to the virtual shelves. Click on the button below to find our gift shop.

What a pleasure and a joy it has been working with Maggie Mei and her mother Greta and I am just so honored to have been the illustrator for Maggie's wonderful story. I hope to illustrate many more books to come...in fact we have a new one in the works right now!
