I’m having a thoroughly chaotic couple of weeks, mostly not writing related. School finishes in two weeks, and I’m in the midst of writing reports, rehearsing for three presentation night items, ferrying the Murphlets to various events, attending end of year functions and so on. I counted eight functions I need to attend in the next two weeks – more than I’ve been to in the whole year to date.

But, amidst all this hustle, some writing news: my first ever children’s ebook was released yesterday.

Baby Monster is a humorous counting book, which sees the hungry Baby Monster offered all kinds of delicious treats for his dinner, until Mummy Monster gets it right. The illustrations, by Rodger Francis, are gorgeous.

Baby Monster is available in PDF and a special Flip book format and is priced at just $3. Many children have never seen or read an ebook, but the tiny price and the novelty of the format are bonuses, in my view.

So, with a new book baby downloaded on to my computer, I am a happy author today, in spite of my busy-ness.

You can see a preview of Baby Monster (and even buy a copy if you wish) at Reader’s Eden, the online bookstore of publisher Writer’s Exchange, an Australian based epublisher.

Have a nice Friday!
