Well it is finally here.
Comet the red bus has been released online in New Zealand and internationally! So exciting!!!! I am still waiting for my copies to arrive, and have imagined the feeling of opening one for the first time, seeing my name in print, seeing my first children's book in print, in real life. I have seen word and PDF copies of it, but to actually hold the real deal in my hands is going to be an emotional moment for me. My dad who passed away a few months ago used to work as an offset printer. He loved his job. Dad is well known for picking up a book and giving it a good sniff. He could tell you about the paper and the ink used. Sadly this first book was published a bit late so I will mis the chance to see Dad do this with my book; but I know he would be proud that it was published. I have had the website updated and it will continue to be updated to give quick and easy links to where to purchase it online. There are numerous sites including Amazon, Xlibris, Barnes & Noble, Kobo etc. There are twelve that I have been advised of so far. Comet the red bus is available in softcover, hardcover and eBook, and I am working with the publishing agency to get it turned into an audio book, it will have a musical intro and ending and will be fun for children to read along to. I look forward to telling you more about that as it progresses For now though, I need to concentrate of the two colouring books that are about to be published and the second Comet the red bus book. Plenty to keep me occupied along with working my usual job. Thank you all for your support and to those of you who have pre ordered a book in NZ. We opted to offer NZ a big discount to keep things local. I look forward to updating you when your copy has been shipped. Take care everyone! Chris.
