This year has been a bit of a rough one in a lot of ways, and somewhere in the middle of everything I really needed something fun and creative to focus on.
So… I started writing children’s books 😂
What started as something just for me and the boys has now turned into a whole Harry & Eli adventure series, based on so many parts of our real life like moving to Darwin, fishing, crocs, wet season storms, noisy nights, sailing and all the random funny little adventures that seem to happen with these two.
The books follow Harry the Mischief Maker and Eli the Clever One, plus a few furry family members, on their adventures around the Top End.
I honestly had no big plan when I started. I just wanted to create something special for the boys and have a fun little project of my own, but the more I’ve worked on them, the more I’ve started thinking they might actually have some potential.
So before I get too carried away and disappear completely down the printing rabbit hole 😂 I thought I’d put a little feeler out there.
Would anyone actually be interested in buying a copy if I did a small first print run?
I’m thinking maybe a little pre-sale/first edition run to start with, probably one or two books first and then the others after that.
There’s no payment or commitment at this stage, I’m just genuinely curious to see if there would be enough interest to make getting them printed worthwhile.
If you think you might like one, pop a 'YES', a ❤️ or leave me a comment and I’ll keep you updated.
It feels a little bit scary putting something I’ve made out there like this, but also pretty exciting to see what might come of it 🥹📚❤️
Not a bad thing to come out of a pretty crappy year really.
