have done what a lot of us say we would like to do but don’t, wrote books about the things that interest them in the events that take place about them.
They have formed their own two-person publishing company, Annabelle Books, to produce their books. The books Annabelle has produced have been big sellers for the last ten years. Their success is in some ways surprising in that there are no murders in the books, no federal agents looking for terrorists, just the everyday, normal, wonderfully unique life that all of us enjoy.
Despite this rationality, just about everyone who has read their books feels personally gratified, relating what they write about to their own individual life experiences.

His series of pen and ink drawings of the offshore islands and coastal scenes are now valuable collectables and grace the walls of many of the regions houses. His richly detailed illustrations bring further life to Views from a Front Porch and his animated drawings in Blueberry Peaches, Red Robin Pie add a note of delightful whimsy to its recipes.
