Piction, a genre unique to Starlette Universe, is used where cartoons interact with verse, puns and wordplay to propet the storyline to a surprising conclusion. Piction is similar to, but a more polished form of novel-in-comics, a category represented by Wimpy Kid, Nate and Dork Diaries. In Sweetie Pie Lilly, through thick and thin, Lilly emerges triumphant, continuing the Starlette Universe saga that good prevails against 'EVA-l' in . . . The End.

A WAR IS RAGING, and Alvair’s tyrannical regime is more of a threat than ever.

The fate of the free world is at stake, and her only hope is to find the most powerful Amulet in existence―the Amulet of Destiny―before her enemies do. The battle of the century is fast approaching, but before Alexa faces Dante she must reconcile with Caleb, as dark power consumes him and threatens to destroy their marriage.

Accepting her destiny is difficult, and she alone can determine whether it is a blessing...or a curse.

The core themes of STARLETTE UNIVERSE are good vs. evil, God vs. the devil, the Starlettes vs. Eva Deneval. When six Spruce Pine High students form a friendship club to fight injustice and wrong at their school, they meet the ultimate 'mean' girl, Eva the Evil, who has the ability to morph into a variety of monsters, be it a werewolf, zombie, vampire or undead head. Against all odds, the Starlettes, fun-loving beauties, emerge victorious and defeat Eva and her wicked forces from hell. Kathy Johnson, lawyer, author, and mother of Miss Vermont 1999 and Miss Vermont USA 2001, has just released the first in a series of ST ARLETTE UNNERSE books aimed at 'tween and teen girls, ages 10-16. Written in poetic rhyme and pun-filled prose, STARLETTE UNIVERSE books are serious, yet humorous, and full of life lessons for girls. There are several distinguishing characteristics: (l) 'Starlette-isms', or word play, give shine to the storyline. (2) 'Sparkles', or rules for living, aid the girls in making good decisions. (3) 'Unique-speak', or each girl's different talk, makes her personality glow. Dick Kulpa has successfully turned the six Starlettes into America's sweetarts' with his cover art and colorful illustrations. He is former publisher of Cracked Magazine, creator of Bat Boy, and a three-time syndicated newspaper comic strip cartoonist. The overriding premise of STARLETTE UNIVERSE is that evil and Eva are allowed to exist but that good and the Starlettes will ultimately prevail. After entering STARLETTE UNIVERSE, all readers are faced with a decision: Team GOOD? Or Team D.evil?
