Welcome to what’s happening in Merlville! 

 

VOLUME 16 AVAILABLE NOW! 

WHY WE SKIPPED VOLUME 7 AND 13

 

"13" just gives us the willies. 'Nuff said.

As to 7, we always planned Volume 7 as a contest book and we still want to do that. The goal of the contest has always been to raise money to help the families and caregivers of Alzheimer's patients, but our main hurdle has been finding an individual or company to donate the prize money. We've been so busy ourselves that we haven't been able to actively pursue this. Thus, Volume 7 remains a dream, but an active one!
