Generation Moon Trilogy: Fiction or Prediction?

I am currently illustrating Book two of the Generation Moon trilogy and history might be going my way!

I’ve set the series in a not too distant future. There is a King in England – there wasn’t when I began writing the first book!

Glenn has been to the International Space School in Wales and is the most promising candidate to be the “First Kid in Space.”

Glenn meets the President. Why does she want to talk to him?

I decided to have a woman president in the story to make it feel a bit different from reality, but maybe my fiction will come true! Who knows? Only time will tell.

By the time I’m working on the illustrations for book three, the election will be well underway, if not over.

How many other story lines will come true?

My New Book Project – Generation Moon

Artemis 1 was due to launch as I am writing this, having been delayed many times. It is now due to go in two days time – Wednesday, Nov. 16.

Returning to the moon has brought back memories of the excitement I felt as a kid, as The Apollo missions headed out towards the Moon. Apollo 8 was my most favourite mission – It was so bold, so new, so intrepid and all wrapped up with the magic of Christmas.

My generation of Moonies were really let down with the ending of Apollo. But soon, it seems, there really will be humans established on the moon – the future we imagined was ours when we were kids.

So I am now writing a middle-grade, adventure trilogy called GENERATION MOON to inspire the new generation of kids who, one day – quite soon, will populate the Moon and will maybe go even further, to Mars and beyond.

I feel there is a need to get on with this project – time is of the essence and regular publishing schedules are too slow. So, I will be-self publishing over the next year to 18 months, launching the project as limited signed editions on Kickstarter soon.

Sign up to my YouTube Channel when I will be regularly posting news, hints and tips about the whole self-publishing process, writing – editing – illustrating – launching – publishing and, most importantly – marketing.

As well as inspiring a new generation of moonies and astronauts, I hope to help other along with their self-publishing projects.

Stay tuned!

New Book Cover Revealed – Walker – the boy who can talk to dogs

Today is the official reveal of my new book, Walker – the boy who can talk to dogs.

I’ve just finished the artwork and I’m so looking forward to introducing this book to children – I hope to have early copies for World Book Day. I’m booked for World Book Day week, but still have room the weeks either side.

Walker has always wanted a dog, but his mums hyper-allergic to dogs, so he can’t have one. Something he see’s on a visit to his aunt, gives him and idea, and soon he and Stella are bonding, throwing and catching sticks in Foxley Fields. Walker has no idea what is about to happen or the incredible adventure that is about to unfold.

You can pre-order at Amazon – pay no attention to what they say… publication day is 14th March. Find out a whole lot more at @ FireflyPress
