Archie and Pip: The Halloween Costume Surprise

It’s time to finally celebrate Archie and Pip’s second book out loud! It actually launched in July, but the story’s Halloween theme means we’re only just now getting to really celebrate it. It’s been a different sort of book launch, and I’ve been itching to share more details but just had to keep waiting … and waiting …

It’s ok though, while waiting, I finished all the art for Archie and Pip’s third book coming out in 2026!
