At last I have some exciting news to share, and boy has this one been a long time coming! I’m pleased to finally announce that I have a new children’s picture book coming out! ‘Ship Ahoy! Box Boy’ will be released by Windy Hollow Books at all good bookstores and online in September.
Writing a follow up to ‘The Box Boy’ was so much harder than I thought it would have been, and I’ve lost track of the many attempts that I’ve had trying to get it just right over the years. It seemed that as soon as I’d make some progress with the story I’d hit another roadblock where it just wasn’t flowing how I wanted it to, and in many cases I was just too busy with work/life getting in the way.
I thought that during the pandemic lockdowns I’d be able to make some progress with it, but no… Remote Learning/Teaching commitments took over!
However, I was determined to never give up and I really threw myself into finishing this new book over the summer break during late December 2021 through to February at the beginning of the year. I’ll be writing some follow up posts about the creative process with this book, but for the moment I just can’t wait to finally see it in print!
