Abby & Alex Halloween ABC’s Children’s Book

Abby and Alex’s first Halloween themed ABC book is now available in print and digital. We priced it as low as Amazon would allow us. Great for those little ones just learning their ABC’s or for us old folks that have already forgotten them and need a refresher.

It is a fun and cute little Halloween themed book. The St. Louis Dad kids wanted to do something to try and make some extra money and this is the idea they came up with. They have a few more ideas that hopefully will come to life but for now we have this fun project.

Mischief Night – A 24 Hour Comic Book

The town of Pumpkinville loves Halloween, but Tim and Lucy love Mischief Night even more. When the magical mischief becomes too much for Tim and Lucy to contain, they must find a way to return Pumpkinville back to it’s original state!

Every year the first Saturday in October has an event called 24 Hour Comic Book Day, where participants spend 24 hours, writing and creating a full comic book. I have done a few versions of this in the past with various results. This year I asked my son if he wanted to participate with me and he was very excited to join in. This past Saturday was the event and I must say, we knocked it out of the park!

Written and illustrated by me and my son Alex during a 24 hour period, Mischief Night is a great story for all ages and a fun way to get into the Halloween spirit! Check it out on Amazon today!
