My first book, HAMSTER AND CHEESE: Guinea Pig, Pet Shop Private Eye, Book 1, will be out in April 2010 from Graphic Universe! It’s a graphic novel for kids and the first in a series starring a unfriendly Guinea Pig who is forced to solve crimes by a hyperactive hamster when the “g” falls off her sign. The art is by the incredible Stephanie Yue, who is a black belt in making-things-super-cute.

From 2004-2007 I made a super silly webcomic called FLUFF IN BROOKLYN. It starred a bunch of stuffed animals interacting with normal NYC residents in picture form. Over 60 friends appeared in the comic which I would never write beforehand but just take silly pictures and then when I couldn’t sleep at 3am thread them together with even sillier dialogue. It amused me to no end, though made little sense!

Somehow the comic was named an “Editor’s Choice” by BUST Magazine, a I developed a very strange but loyal group of followers. I was invited to be part of the PLAYGROUND GHOSTS webcomic collective, the only female in the group that included: Chris Dlugosz, Steve Hogan, Bernie Hou, David Malki !, and Chris Yates. So many of my favorite people in the world come from the webcomic community with awesome D.I.Y. beliefs about creativity.
