Monster Man, Monster Friend

I thought we’d do something a little different this week. I’m using this update to give a shout-out to a true friend and collaborator, David Hartman. David and I have been friends for 20 years (!) now, and David has been there every step of the way to support me and provide covers for my various projects over the years—beginning with The Surreal Adventures of Edgar Allan Poo (published by Image Comics). David is the consummate professional. He knows our aesthetics without us having to explain t...

A Peek Inside THE BOX

Hello, Monster Squad! I’ve been dying to share some teaser images from THE BOX! Truth is, the book has taken considerably longer to complete than we anticipated. There have been considerable setbacks and surprises this year, but the good thing about the delays is that the book is stronger now from the extra time and attention. To be frank, it would have been a much different book had it been completed on schedule. Because of that, you are in for a beautiful, painstaking work of love that is sure...

Magic Monday 8/25/25

Weekends are for recharging the ol’ creative batteries. This past weekend, it was a very unusual book that got our creative juices flowing. A novel so good we both devoured it in one afternoon! This is the first in a series of ongoing Monday posts for our free subscribers. If you have a recommendation for something that totally sparked your imagination, please share it with us in the comments section below. We are always seeking something new (or old) and shiny!

America's Favorite Couple: US?!

A month ago, Rebecca entered us in a contest put on by actor Jeff Goldblum and Variety Magazine in partnership with Facebook, Oceana, and the LA Foodbank. I thought it was kinda cool, and I posted about it on all the socials, but didn’t really take it too seriously.

They’re searching for America’s Favorite Couple, and she thought our unique story would make a great fit for the contest. A month later, we are third in our group! We made it past the first cut, the top 20, then the top 10, and now we...

In Praise of Pip

In the summer of 2021, when everyone was still reeling from COVID, and we were on the verge of signing papers for our first home, my husband got the great idea of getting a puppy. We decided to name him Pip Copperpot MacPherson, Esq., because of our mutual love for Charles Dickens, two of our favorite Twilight Zone episodes, and a classic film everyone should watch before they die: Goonies. We were ahead of the curve as it would be the next year that a dapper French Bulldog named Winston would w...
