I have worked 10 years on this story, in a part time capacity, in the evenings when my small children were finally in bed, I painted all the illustrations myself. This is a story in verse about the mysterious disappearance of a beloved performer from a circus sideshow. It is darkly humorous in the style of Edward Gorey, and entirely PG. I hope you will take a look. I think this would be a very nice little gift book. I have received a copy and the paintings have turned out very well, they are very vivid and faithful to the paintings.

You would have my unending gratitude.
Sincerely,
