Georgia and the U.F.O. Downloaded FREE around the world

Wow what a weekend! Georgia and the U.F.O. made her debut on kindle and was free to download.

And, as they say 'the lines went crazy' Georgia the Cow was downloaded all over the world. Europe, Canada the U.S.A. everywhere, or so it seems. It's a lovely thought to imagine Georgia being read in hundreds of different homes the world over.

So to everyone who downloaded Georgia and the U.F.O. -  a very big thank-you and I hope you enjoyed the story. If you did then, I'm happy to report that Georgia's next adventure 'Georgia and the Spacecats' is coming along very nicely and as soon as I've finished you'll be among the first to know.

Once again thanks for making the weekend so successful.

Free Children's Picture Book Georgia and the U.F.O. - 16th and 17th August

Georgia and the U.F.O. is FREE this weekend.

That's right tell your mother and father, aunts and uncles, grand parents and even next door's dog. Georgia and the U.F.O. is celebrating it's debut on Kindle with a free giveaway weekend.

'O.K.' you're probably asking 'What's it all about?'

Well, Georgia is back in her second adventure and this time she's just minding her own business on her favourite hillside when a U.F.O. and a slightly bewildered alien make their presence known.

Told entirely in rhyme 'Georgia and the U.F.O.' is not only a fun read for parents, preschoolers and beginning readers alike, but also educational, as it features over 45 Key Stage 1 High Frequency Words (for UK readers) and over 45 Dolch List Kindergarten Primer/Pre-Primer Non Nouns (for US readers).

So remember to download it this weekend and it won't cost you a penny!

Georgia and the U.F.O. FREE THIS WEEKEND!

Hello,
Doesn't time fly? It seems a terribly long time since I last said 'Hello' and to be truthful it is! All I can say is 'I'm sorry', and I'll try to keep in touch more often.

Anyway, onto the exciting stuff. Since I last spoke to you I've been trying to get my head around completing an illustrated children's picture book on Kindle that occupies the majority of the screen. (I know it sounds pretty simple, but not when you've got a brain that runs a mile when it sees computer code.)

However, after burning the midnight oil for quite some time, I've done it. All my rhyming picture books are now available in 'Full Screen Format' which means they look pretty darn good (or so I think) on the Kindle Fire, Fire HD and several other Kindle platforms.

Now you might remember from my last post, I'd just released 'Georgia's Big Idea' as an interactive book on iTunes, well, 'Georgia's Big Idea is now available as an illustrated children's picture book for early readers on Kindle. But what I'm really excited about is 'Georgia and the U.F.O.' the next picture book in the Georgia series will be FREE this weekend (16th and 17th of August) on Kindle.

That's right 'Georgia and the U.F.O.' is FREE this weekend and then it goes back to it's normal price.
What's the story about? Tell you what I'll check back in tomorrow and tell you all about it then.

Huckabee - Number 1 Children's Picture Book

Wow what a great weekend! Huckabee the Little Blue Dragon was a bestselling Kindle children's picture book all around the world. That's right Huckabee went global!

In fact it went to the number one position in Canada and Japan and achieved a top five position in the U.K. and United States, as Huckabee himself would say "Phooaarrr!"

So it's a big thank-you to everyone who downloaded 'Huckabee the Little Blue Dragon - A Children's Picture Book' over the weekend, I really hoped you enjoyed the story and as always I look forward to your comments and reviews.

                                                   All the best, Dan.

Huckabee the Little Blue Dragon

Whoopee! You know when you get that excited feeling running up and down your spine - well guess what ...I've got it. My latest children's picture book, 'Huckabee the Little Blue Dragon' is now available on Kindle.

As you may have already guessed from the title, Huckabee is a dragon who's small and blue, not the perfect combination when you  want to be green and imposing.

Still Huckabee learns that, just because he isn't the same as everyone else, it doesn't mean that he isn't special in his own right.

Deep down, 'Huckabee the Little Blue Dragon' is really a story about self esteem and learning to like yourself for who you are, but if that sounds a little tough going for your average 3-5 year old don't despair because the story is fun to read.

Huckabee the Little Blue Dragon is available now on Kindle and FREE from Saturday 30th March to Monday 1st April.

Hope you enjoy it and if you've got time please leave a review on Amazon. Thanks

I Like Breakfast


I've got to say I'm pretty excited, my brand new picture book 'I Like Breakfast' is hot off the kindle press today!
I know we've all heard the old expression 'Breakfast is good for you' but sadly we don't always take on board good advice, especially when you've got a fussy eater and the busy day is crowding in all around us.
 
That's why 'I Like Breakfast' is such a useful children's picture book, not only is it humourous and engaging but it also gently educates your child into wanting a healthy breakfast.
 
Anyway I hope you have as much fun reading  'I Like Breakfast' as I had creating it.
Happy Eating - Dan

So thank-you to everyone that downloaded the picture book I really hoped you enjoyed it and if any of you can find the time a review would be absolutely marvellous.
