Well, it’s finally done! “Francis Sharp in the Grip of the Uncanny! : Book 1″ , by Anna Bratton and myself, is finally complete! It is 86 pages of all the stuff you’d expect from me, such as children, children lost in woods, woods, more woods, and weird creatures. Actually, here is a better preview of the story:

It’s not easy growing up in rural New Jersey during the 1930’s, especially when it gets in the way of your occult fantasies. But when little Francis Sharp’s imagination gets the better of him, he finds himself lost in a much stranger world than he knew existed. The woods behind Francis’s house really do hold some unearthly secrets, and getting back home might not be an option . . .

Stranded in Valleyghast, a bizarre city of smokestacks and monsters, Francis must rely on an eccentric pair of goblin cousins for help in finding his way back to Jersey. But what mysterious forces conspire to keep him here?
