Possum Tales

The 'Possum Tales' series depicts the delightful adventures of Poss and Milly - two characters that grew from a passel of Australian, brush-tail possums that used to haunt the family rooftop.  Poss and Milly enjoy a lifetime of rewarding challenges and friendships as they encounter: love, pain, terror, fear, rejection and the miracle of life.

Presently there are five books in this series, two of which have been published in softcover and hardback.  The remainder are on the
​illustrator's table.  You can purchase below or grab one at your local bookstore. Enjoy!
