The Magicians’ Academy – some fun illustrations

I’m currently in the middle of writing The Magicians’ Academy. It’s book 2 in the Magicians’ series. At the same time, I have finally decided to try my hand at drawing. I’m a pure beginner, so keep that in mind.

Meanwhile here is my first illustration inspired by the book… a horse. In the book there are Windhorses, which are horses with wings. I wasn’t quite brave enough to draw wings yet lol.

Moving along, I decided to try drawing a human! Maybe this could be Thatch! I do so love Thatch as a character. He is one of my favorites. What do you think?

And finally I drew my dear friend Wesa, who is the inspiration behind the character Wesa in the book. Wesa has fire hands… this drawing has the fan kind of symbolic of that.

As I continue to write this book for the rest of this year, I hope to draw some more characters for it. I simply must have a crack at Alexander Kirby! And Agatha. They would be fun!

The Splendid Secrets of 66 Lilly Pilly Lane is a Christmas book

It occured to me this week, that the Splendid Secrets of 66 Lilly Pilly Lane takes place over Christmas. How did I forget to mention in all my posts that it is kind of therefore a Christmas book? I point this out in the video below plus have some fun reading reviews from Amazon. I don’t usually look at the reviews so I thought it would be fun to check them out with you live on video. Why not?

How I ended up being a Children’s Book Author

I remember quite vividly the day I sat down and wrote my first children’s book…. or meditation adventure rather. It turned into my book Lolli and the Lollipop, and launched me into my current career. Who knew that would happen? I didn’t! It’s funny how one small “first day” can begin something totally unexpected.

PS Lolli and the Lollipop is now FREE on ibooks, Amazon, Kobo… everywhere!
