When I began work on the Halloween book Night of the Candy Creepers, one of the first things I did was draw a bunch of costumes for the main character to wear as he went trick-or-treating through the neighborhood. I showed my best ideas to the author, Donna Davies, and she chose the vampire costume for the book. Which was the right idea for a spooky book, but I would have love to draw the cowboy or pirate costume for a story. Maybe someday…
