Bookshop

Welcome to our virtual Bookshop! Settle into a comfortable chair, kick back, grab a cup of something special, and browse all you like. Click on the button to read more about each title, peek inside the books, or order from the site.

These are the books currently in stock in our shop, and I am more than happy to sign any you order here — I’ll personalize if requested.

We do our best to get orders out within three business days, but these days the mail is sometimes a little slow; we will send you a tracking number so you can watch the progress, but please be patient! Most orders go flat rate, Priority Mail.

Of course you may also want to check on Amazon, Barnes & Noble or your local bookstore for these or others of my books, either new or after-market; we don’t stock all of them, as some are out of print but are usually available secondhand. As noted elsewhere, I’ve written and illustrated 36 books; you can find them listed in the Bibliography.
