Hey everyone, hope all is well. Thanks for stopping by my little corner of Kickstarter.

So, where do I begin.

Well, for starters, I wear a couple of hats. Mental health counselor. Writer. Comic book creator. Letterer. Most important of my hats of course are daddy, husband and son.

As a mental health counselor who has been working with children and families for over 10 years now and a lover of comic books for most of my life, a while back I decided there needed to be some comic books that could be used to help kids work through some of the major issues of their time.

Since I had never created a comic book before I just had some rough ideas and moved on with my life (getting married, finishing grad school, having kids, you know, the easy stuff!)

At some point the idea came full circle and I had a couple of opportunities to get my ideas published. To make a long story short, I had four comic books developed and published earlier this century (sounds like a long time ago doesn't it).

Since then I've continued to have the writer's itch to get back to the characters and do some comics based solely upon entertaining kids. Kid friendly comics if you will. Life events (the good kind; marriage, kids, starting a counseling center) kept my free time to explore more writing adventures to a minimum.

Until Steve and I met one day. A local artist. Interested in drawing OOTW. Where we could actually sit down and chat. And his style for the project is exactly what I was hoping for. Perfect!

So I started polishing off my plots and scripting out a story.

Which pretty much brings you up to speed on everything OOTW related.

I hope you enjoy the books. Make sure to grab one for any kids you might know.

And hey, feel free to drop me a line if you have questions or just want to chat comics.
