In the meantime I’ve had a few children’s books published through ABC kids.
Captain Wetbeard, a first chapter book which has sold OK (teetering on the brink of earning out it’s advance at the 9 month mark).
Dorothy the Dinosaur’s Rosy Tea Party. Written for the Wiggles I am credited as the author but I don’t get royalties (just a lump sum). This is sad it’s probably my best-selling book.
Lab Rats in Space - for 9-11 year olds this is the first book of 3 - a comedy space adventure. Released last, it had a mixed reception. A lot of booksellers didn’t like the cover so many didn’t stock it. However the few that did, did really well out of it and are keen for the next book. Despite poor overall sales, this persauded ABC to go with volume 2. It’s been written and it’s with them waiting for editing.
I’ve a couple of other concepts in the pipeline but no commitment on them. ABC books are going through major upheavals (of course!) so can’t commit to anything right now!
