I’m so thrilled that my fourth book, “Max’s Wild Night,” is now ready for purchase at amazon.com and at my web site, if you just have to have an autographed copy.

You can also find the matching “Max” toy, like I have for the other books, at the shopping cart page on this website.

The official launch day of May 1 corresponds with Max’s 10th birthday. Or at least that’s the day we celebrate it. The paperwork from the no-kill shelter where we found him says May 1, so that’s our best guess.

Happy Birthday, Max!!

Another fun feature of this book is that my daughter, who readers know as “Leia,” did the illustrations. Within the story, I didn’t want to have real photos like I normally do because it all takes place at night. It felt like it would break the mood. Her wonderful drawings provided just the perfect touch.

What kind of creature is this that Max meets on his adventures?

Yes, she is planning on being an art major in college, though she prefers clay.

If you want to get your hands on “Max’s Wild Night” immediately, come on down and visit me at Sharp’s Spring Craft Fair next to the War Eagle Mill in War Eagle, Arkansas. We will be there Friday, Saturday, and Sunday with copies of Max’s book in hand.
