Walking the Dog

Walking With My Wobbly Willie

Walking with my wobbly willie
Round about the park
All the doggies in the place
Greet me with a bark
They like to sniff my willie
Wobbly thou he is
And my old wobbly willie
Thinks it is the biz
They hop and skip and dance about
Asking him to play
And my old wobbly willie
Hops about all day
He knows all the doggie tricks
Even sits and begs
And my old wobbly willie

Has only got three legs

Tyger Pants 2

Very excited: I have finished writing the first draft of Tyger Pants 2.  I have ordered a proof copy and will be reading through and editing once it arrives.

Poems

If writing becomes difficult I sometimes give my head a change by thinking up some rhymes.  Most of them are drivel but I have just added the better ones to my author website.  Here is an example:

Don’t Get Caught By The Ghoulies

Don’t go out in the dead of night
Unless you’re prepared to quake
For as the darkness smothers the light
Nasty things awake
Not badgers, stoats, moths and rats
Or even weasels or shrews
But ghosts, werewolves and vampire bats
Things that will make you poo

Ghosts emerging out of the ground
Will freeze your blood to ice
Werewolves leaping without a sound
Will bite and slash and slice
Vampire bats will suck at your throat
And drain your blood away
And beware the witch with midnight cloak
She’ll fill you with dismay

So dreadful things are waiting for you
If you go out at night
Things to scare you through and through
Phantoms, ghosts and wights
But whilst these things are really bad
And might give you the hoolies
Whatever else you do my lad

Don’t get caught by the ghoulies

Tyger Pants 2

I've started work on the second book in my Tyger Pants series.

Tyger has managed to get hold of his dad's Editor and has escaped into Fictonia, the library dimension. Unfortunately he dropped the Editor just before he zapped through so now he's stuck.  But all he has to do is rescue a princess so things should go smoothly...

If you want to see a sample chapter of the first book in the series click here and follow the link.

I'll post a link to the first chapter of the new book soon.

Ruff and Tumble 2 - Invasion of the Dog Eating Yetis

My last post reminds me that I haven't proclaimed from on high that the second book in the Ruff and Tumble series - Invasion of the Dog Eating Yetis - is now available from Amazon in paperback and Kindle.


Christmas Fairs

I have now had a stall at two Christmas Fairs and have sold many unique gifts, if that isn't a contradition in terms:)

I think I could have sold more though, if I had Ruff and Tumble 2 and Tyger Pants in print.  I think I'll have to raid the piggy bank.  Either that or rob a bank...

I will be at the Donkey Sanctuary in Ivybridge on Saturday 7th December, so come and see me there.
