On Allium Avenue – a new picture book

^{On Allium Avenue – first print proofs in hand – 07/02/2022}

I’m quite delighted to have received another delivery of books in the mail, today.

A new picture book in hard and soft cover formats. These will need to be completely revised to get the covers and internal images looking as I think they should (I need to actually see the paper copies to know how they will look, and these need a bit of work), but it is such a delight to have these new things in my hands that I feel the need to share – however prematurely.

On Allium Avenue reflects the beginning of my recent obsession with th einsects in my back yard – native bees initially, but then extending to whatever would sit still long enough for me to point the phone at them.

The writing is in Seventeen Syllable Poetry format, this time, which I was quite pleased with. Also included is a section of Extras, Out-takes (and Bloopers), which I found quite amusing.

I don’t know when this will be ready to release as a finished book – I have a lot on at the moment, and I’m not sure if I will do a digital version other than a PDF, but to have copies in hand is wonderful.

I’ll write more when there is a next progression.
