On the books at Chapters!

On Saturday (Jan 23rd) I was in the Chapters book store in Moncton. I wandered over to the children's books but naturally never expected to find my books there. However...

They have kiosks set up at various points around the store. You can enter what you're looking for into the computerized system and it'll tell you:

• If they stock it
• If it's available in the store
• How to order a copy if it's not in the store

I looked for both of my children's books, Flutter Bunnies and The Legend of Lumpus and Ogols. And guess what?

They were both listed!

Sure, you have to order them, but I still thought it was pretty cool. Some day I hope to see them and other books of mine on the shelves.

Lumpus Books Arrive!

They're here!

I'm quite excited about this book, because my step-son David did the artwork for it. His pictures capture the mood of the story perfectly. I only wish the book was bigger so you could see them more clearly...

Still, you can see them clearly enough if you buy a copy :)

If you're interested, go to Amazon.com and search for The Legend of Lumpus and Ogols. Or simply follow this link.

Get it from Amazon.ca here, from Chapters Indigo here, from Amazon.co.uk here or from Barnes & Noble here.

It's nice when a batch of new books turns up in a delivery van. Takes some of the harshness out of these Canadian winters...

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Here's hoping that 2010 brings you all that you desire in your writing career and your life in general.

Thanks for reading...

New Children's Book Available Now

Lumpus & Ogols Is Out Now!

My latest children's book, The Legend of Lumpus and Ogols, is now available.

This is a very special book, because the illustrations have been done by David McQuillan, my step-son. I think they add just the right atmosphere to the story. They're also beautiful illustrations in their own right, too.

The book is on sale at Amazon.com and can be accessed via this link. If you hurry, depending on where you live, you might just be able to get a copy for Christmas.

See you again soon...

Finally: a Review!

Flutter Bunnies a Hit!

Hi there. Someone has been kind enough to post this review of Flutter Bunnies at the Amazon.com page:

This beautiful book is indeed ideal for children of all ages. It works well as a read-it-to-me book; the bold drawings illustrating all the major events. Older children will love the different characters especially Funny Bunny's array of jokes.

New Book Due Out Soon

WOW!

Two things I can't believe...

I can't believe it's been so long since I posted anything... been a hell of a summer

AND...

I can't believe my latest children's book, The Legend of Lumpus and Ogols, will be out soon.

Here's the link for a sneak preview:

The pictures for this book were done by my step-son David. Great job. They add such a tremendous atmosphere to the story. We met up in the UK in May to finalize them.

This is my 2nd children's story to be published by Guardian Angel, the first being Flutter Bunnies. There's a sequel to that book due out in the Spring, so keep watching :)

All A-flutter!

New Flutter Bunnies book due out!

The second Flutter Bunnies book will be out later this year. The first, simply entitled Flutter Bunnies, was published in November 2008. I've just received the contract for the second in the series, Flutter Bunnies and the Fossil of Fortune. I'll let you know when publication is imminent.

Meanwhile, I've got another children's book due out in October 2009. This one, The Legend of Lumpus & Ogols, features illustrations by my step-son David McQuillan.
