By: Ashley Lucas
 
Sept. 19, 2011 - PRLog -- Ashley Lucas has been sending manuscripts, query letters, and illustration samples to various publishers since she was 18 years old. Finally, ten years later, her dedication has paid off with the publication of her first book, "Boo, Bat & Pumpkin Throw a Party". The book tells the story of three outcasts who invite their popular peers to a secret Halloween bash in an attempt to win them over as friends. One of the book’s main characters, named Pumpkin, is based on Ashley’s own experience as a young artist trying to find her niche within her peers at school.

Lucas self published "Boo, Bat & Pumpkin Throw a Party" in 2010 via the online platform blurb.com before the story’s eventual publication with Sunbury Press in 2011. Since the story’s release in February 2011, Sunbury Press has additionally published Ashley’s first coloring book called, "I Love NY Food".

Lucas, a native of Lancaster, PA, has her own art brand called Lady Lucas, which features her whimsical greeting card line and art prints, as well as local art class options for children in her Jersey City neighborhood. Jersey City has played a significant roll in the artist’s creative career, and is featured in her book as well. The texture photographs behind the illustrations in "Boo, Bat & Pumpkin Throw a Party" were all taken of building exteriors in downtown Jersey City.

The first, official Boo, Bat & Pumpkin book tour will take place this fall at different venues in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, as well as virtually via Lucas’ website, www.ladylucas.com.  Interested parties may visit the website for scheduling information, BBP merchandise, and links that point to where to purchase the book online.
