Melissa Rooney's New Picture Book
DAC CAPS artist Melissa Rooney's next picture book, One Proud Black Cat (under the pen name Melissa Stacy), is going to be the first book released by the new Froward Press publishing company in September, 2023. OPBC is subtly Halloween themed and will make a great surprise gift for children and grandchildren. It is available for preorder at the link below.
By preordering and pre-paying for the book, you will provide Melissa with much-needed funding to pay for gas, accommodations, etc. during her book launch and tour up the East Coast this Fall (book publishers don’t generally pay for that stuff).
