My decision to launch a career in the children's picutre book market came about after I met Vim The Whim (a character from one of my books). After writing his story, I knew I that the whim to write would bring forth all sorts of other characters and their stories. Other than the joy and pleasure that writing and illustrating bestows upon me, my main purpose in writing and illustrating children's picture books is to raise money for various children's charity programs. At present I am promoting my first book, "Just Marble-Us!"; and am working on three more books that are near publication.
