Books About Living Together Despite A Different Point Of View
Praise for Meadowdrama
I love the wry comments of the irrepressibly cheerful flower to the rigidly cynical Eeyore-sort of rock. This is a thoughtful, charming and funny look at coexistence- perhaps even compatibility- with neighbors with opposing views. I look forward to more from this Meadow.

These two characters could easily be in myself, they are truthful and direct. They clash very hard but never destroy. The setting is stark and simple, lending an uninsulated staging; it helps with the angular dialog. The pearls of humor and insight are worth the pry.
-Amazon Reader Catalpa
Meadowdrama is a wonderful comic with two characters that feel like old friends. The rock and the flower. The pessimist and the optimist. I relate to both and thoroughly enjoyed the dialogue between the two.

About Meadowdrama
Meadowdrama is a humorous comic strip about two very different characters who live next to each other in the meadow. One is a mean rock who likes to make fun of the other, a sweet flower. The flower remains nice and tries to teach the rock about the wonders of nature. As they talk and argue, they start to understand themselves and each other better. The books show the importance of treating our neighbors with kindness, even if they are different. The simple graphic keeps our focus on their dialog. Readers will see these characters struggle to find common ground in this story which is; sometimes sad, sometimes serious, and sometimes silly… just like us!
About The Author
I was born in Elmira N.Y., and grew up in a rural area near the town of Big Flats. I graduated from Horseheads High School and enlisted in the Air Force. When I got out I hitchhiked from Spokane across WA state to Sequim on a Friday in June. That weekend I met a guy that knew a guy, and started working for Olympic National Park the following Monday. I retired after 44 years of public service.
For those who are wondering; being a rock or a flower would be one thing, I’m both which leads to some heated discussions. The rock has roamed free in my head as long as I can remember, loud and obnoxious, outside my head I try to be a flower, but I still have to listen to them argue more than I want to.
