A new book! This spring!
Can you guess what it is?
It’s official! Claudia Claws will be my next book, and you don’t have to wait much longer! I’ll be sending it to the printer in the next week or two, and should be able to ship orders by late winter/early spring. I know it gets old to keep hearing how “preorders help authors!” but in this case specifically, since I’m self-publishing, it really would! For your kindness, I’ll throw in free shipping and an original ink doodle by yours truly. Don’t wait, order now!
I’m also trying something new with this release: a side-quest to donate copies to schools! The tricky thing with self-publishing is the limited distribution and reach. While I know a lot of students would enjoy this book, it’s much harder to get it into their hands without a large publishing house behind it. That’s where you come in! I’d love to donate copies of Claudia Claws to as many schools as possible. If there is a school you think would appreciate this book, you can purchase copies at wholesale rate, and I will personally delivery them (or ship, if outside of Portland). If you don’t have a particular school in mind, we can choose the school for you. Game on!
Here’s a bit more info about the book:
An all-new graphic novel by Breena Bard, coming spring 2025!
What happened to Claudia Claws?
When the feline basketball superstar disappears without explanation, her fans and teammates are left scratching their heads. Claudia now hides out in a secluded cabin, wishing everyone would leave her alone. After a chance encounter with a kind-hearted team manager, Claudia dares to face the bizarre events of her past and consider if there might be a path back to the game she once loved.
This whimsical new graphic novel by Oregon Book Award-winning cartoonist Breena Bard is exclusively available for pre-order direct from the artist. With 150 pages of cats and basketball and comics, there is something here for just about everyone. Pre-order now to receive a signed copy, free shipping, as well as a one-of-a-kind original doodle by the artist!
Thanks for your support!

So excited. I purchased a copy and some extras, as they are great to have on hand if we get invited to a kid’s birthday party. And I love this idea to get this book in schools!
