My new middle-grade adventure graphic novel MY AUNT IS A MONSTER is about a POC blind girl writer and her (formerly) World's Greatest Adventurer aunt with a big secret…Here's the cast from left: a shady teenager, a dreamer, an eccentric adventurer aunt, a buff and extremely scary bodyguard grandma nanny, and a Prof Dr who loves pineapple tarts. Mostly all-female (and 1 non-binary) cast, mostly POC, & strange and wondrous.
