Rocko the Christmas Bat

James Legrand King III earned degrees in music theory and composition at Furman University and the University of South Carolina, then embarked on a music-filled career. Church music director, club DJ, theme park performer, piano instructor, youth pastor, sheet music editor, and college music educator are some of the directions his life has already taken. He currently teaches music appreciation at Florida Keys Community College in Key West, Florida, and piano lessons privately throughout the Keys and the Miami area.

James' compositions include Learning the Code, a piano primer available for download at the Internet Archive; Friends Forever, a piano duet available from the FJH Music Company; solo piano works offered at the International Music Score Library Project; and the stage musical version of Rocko.

Karis Keeley lives in Chester, Virginia and enjoys lasagna, video games, and long moonlit walks on the beach with women. But he doesn't live near a beach and he's too young to date women. So he illustrates books instead.
