Exciting News: A New Asher Story is Coming Soon!

New Illustration for Asher's New Book

There’s something magical happening behind the scenes right now—and it all begins with a little white puppy you may already know and love.

A Heartfelt Adventure Awaits

I’m thrilled to share that a new Asher story is coming soon. While I won’t give away too much just yet (where’s the fun in that?), I can tell you this: Asher’s next adventure is full of warmth, wonder, and all the heart that made readers fall in love with him the first time around.

What makes this new book even more special is how it’s being brought to life. My illustrator and I have gone back to the old way of creating picture books—by hand. Each page is being carefully drawn and painted on board, just like the beautiful books from the 1950s and 60s that inspired me as a child.

The Handcrafted Touch

It’s a slower process, but a deeply meaningful one. The colors, textures, and imperfections of hand-crafted art bring a kind of soul to the page that digital just can’t replicate. Every brushstroke honors the timeless tradition of storytelling—when books were cherished keepsakes passed from hand to hand, generation to generation.

In an era dominated by technology, this approach stands out. It harks back to a simpler time, evoking nostalgia. Readers today crave authenticity, and what could be more authentic than a story born from the hands of an artist?

Embracing Vintage Charm

If you’re a fan of vintage charm, heartfelt animal tales, and cozy storybook magic, I think you’re going to fall in love with what’s coming next. The love poured into each illustration creates a bond between the book and its readers. It's not just about the story; it's about the experience.

Hand-painted illustrations allow for a personal touch that connects the audience to the emotions conveyed in the story. The warmth of the colors draws you in, inviting you to turn the page. Each image tells a story of its own, enhancing the narrative.

What to Expect

Stay tuned—I can’t wait to show you more. Expect a beautifully crafted book that not only tells a story but celebrates the art of storytelling itself. The blend of creativity and tradition will resonate with adults and children alike.

As you anticipate Asher’s new adventure, remember that each story carries a special message. I hope this one will inspire kindness, empathy, and a love for animals.

In this hectic world, let’s take a moment to appreciate stories that remind us of life’s simple joys. They are the treasures that we revisit throughout our lives. So, keep an eye out for the release, and prepare to be enchanted.

With joy,

Cindy Vanous

And remember, the phrase "heartfelt animal tales" is an essential part of what you can expect from this story. It connects with the themes we all love. I can’t wait for you to embark on this new adventure with Asher!
