The Amazing Flying Hoosengoosen Couch is a finished middle grade illustrated novel.

Walter reads the tags on the cushions of the old family couch (the couch was a gift from his great uncle Hoosengoosen, a famous scientist) and discovers that the couch is intelligent (if a bit bossy) and can fly ("tell it where you want to go, how to get there it will know...").  He convinces his dog Lloyd to accompany him on a test flight, and they take off through the clouds and end up visiting the moon and then embarking on a trip across the solar system.  The Amazing Flying Hoosengoosen Couch is an exciting, funny, cosmic road trip about exploration, curiosity and the importance of having a true friend around to watch your back.  What fun is it to have an adventure if there's no one else along for the ride, even if it's your dog and he's a bit of a nag?

Tales from the Moon is a humorous, sci-fi podcast which deals with life out in the solar system a few hundred years from now. Follow along with the Moon's dustiest detective and his digital assistant and girl Friday Maxine, join the cantankerous crew of the Icehauler Josephine as it makes its deliveries across the asteroid belt, or check out the latest specials at Marvin's Colossal Cosmic Shopodrome. Why worry about your problems when you can laugh at someone else's? They're in the future and they're imaginary so it's okay. It's a bit grown up out there and sometimes the language gets a bit rough so no kids should look in please. If you're grown up, check it out on Apple Podcasts, Google podcasts, Spotify or just go to www.talesfromthemoon.com!

The Silliest Book I Ever Heard Of is a finished picture book. I'm currently looking for a publisher.

It follows the adventure of a group of small birds who happen upon a very silly book and journey through its pages, encountering words that are too big and too small, runny ink, pages that stink and all manner of other strange things. It's amazing what you can encounter  in the small space between the two covers of a book!
