Help our Elves find some help. Beleive in us!

The Eve to Believe is a children's book which was illustrated, written, designed, and self-published by Mark Schaeffer, with some assistance from his little helpers. It has wonderful, brightly-colored illustrations and a heart-warming story to go with it, which appeals to kids of all ages—even grown-ups. We need a little more help to make
The Eve to Believe everything it can be. If you are interested, contact us.

It is not hard to imaging these colorful characters and this heart-warming story coming to life someday in the form of an animated, holiday, TV special. To see Santa, the elves, reindeer, and
The Brickels walking and talking would be really amazing. Once we work out the initial launch of the book to the market, and after it is successful in print and eBook, we feel that it is a natural progression to seek an animation studio which may be interested in producing this new Christmas story.

While we are working on getting this book out to the world, the Illustrator and Writer of The Eve to Believe,
Mark Schaeffer, is currently working on the next series of stories featuring The Brickels. He is writing and illustrating about adventures which take place in Bishop Hollow, and life in the summertime around Springton Lake. The list of characters have been expanded to include friends of The Brickels as well as some interesting and funny adventures with colleagues of Newman and Nealie—a gang called Bishop Hollow Hounds.
