Yesterday was one of those days that every writer dreams about: I received my new series of books fresh from the publisher. I’m lucky enough to have had this experience before, but I’ll never get tired of that rush from receiving a finished book all shiny and new with my name on the front cover.
After a six month delay, the first four titles in the Pet Tales series of picture books from Soundprints Publishing is on its way to bookstores. And I finally get to show off something that I started writing nearly three years ago.
The books look great, I’m very happy with the way they turned out. But the best part is that they each come with a read-along CD! I don’t which is cooler, hearing actors read my lines or the little “tril-a-ling” chime that tells you when to turn the page.
I remember when read-along books came with a little record that got all scratched and was eventually snapped into razor sharp shards by that doofus bully that made everyone eat his boogers.
And if getting a CD isn’t enough, you can also opt for the deluxe package and get a stuffed animal with your book. I’m still harassing the publisher for my stuffed toys and will, of course, let you know when they arrive.
In the meantime, if you’d like to read more about the series or buy the books online (go on, you know you want to) you can visit the books page of my main site.
