Lockdown - Time on My Hands

One of the pluses for me during this lockdown has been an opportunity to fulfil a life-long ambition by writing and publishing a Children’s Storybook. It is something I have always wanted to do and was encouraged to do by a particular teacher, many years ago. Like most business folk in this type of scenario, I had an excuse at the ready and it was based on the lack of available time; well, lockdown resolved that one! I have found writing the book extremely therapeutic and getting it published tremendously satisfying, so I will be ditching my excuse moving forward. This is actually quite handy, as I have committed to a further 5 books in the first series, so I need to get on with it. My target age group is 4-8 which probably fits with my personal intellectual capacity, I hear some say (and they’re probably right). For those of you with young children or grandchildren, please introduce them to the characters below:
My intention is to complete the current series and if the children truly like the stories then I will continue to develop future series based on the gang. For anybody interested, the eBook is available at:
This is about the children and whether they like what they see and read, so any feedback would be gratefully received. Thanks for reading this. Stay safe.
