Book one the Black Sand Beach series, a middle grade graphic novel series about a haunted summer vacation, written by Richard Fairgray, a bestselling and award-winning comic book and picture book author / illustrator.
Richard Fairgray is a writer, artist, and colorist, best known for
his work in comic books such as Blastosaurus and Ghost Ghost, and
picture books such as Gorillas in Our Midst, My Grandpa Is a
Dinosaur, and If I Had an Elephant. As a child he firmly believed
he would grow up and eat all the candy he wanted and stay up as
late as he liked. By drawing pictures when he wasn't meant to and
reading all the things people told him not to, he has made this
come true.
All Richard needs to be happy is a good table to draw on and a nice
scanner and lamp. He now owns multiple tables, scanners, and lamps
in New Zealand, USA, and Canada so he can sit down and start
working wherever he wakes up.
