Vincent on Kindle!

If, and it's quite a big if, I have twiddled all the right knobs, Vincent and the Vampires should be available on Kindle via Amazon.co.uk tomorrow!

Getting my head around all the technical side of this digital stuff is soooo much harder than drawing a flippin' bat. Making sure the front cover is so many pixels by so many, and at a ratio of 1:6 or thereabouts. Good job I finally got round to doing GCSE maths a few years back.

Anyhow, if you want to have a look at the little fella on Kindle, it will only set you back 2.52 of your English pounds. No one's bought one yet, so be the first!!

I've been making my own wallpaper today! Birdies and birdcage. Thought I might use it in the next Red Wellingtons story, although you will have to wait to see it - we've decided to upload them all onto YouTube together, when all 10 are finished.

Waiting for Proof..

Super duper trooper! At last, after holding my breath for approximately 14 days and relentlessly bothering the nice people at CreateSpace, my Vincent proof arrived in the post! There was no security guard, no needing to sign a tablet, it literally came through the letterbox with a bill.

And even better news - after thorough examination, no need for any revisions! Hurrah. So all that fretting and stitching together of brain cells to work out how to format the story so that it printed correctly was in the end, well worth it.

All I need now is to wait for my U.S. tax identification number to arrive in the post and it can be bought on Amazon.com. If you want to see a sneak preview, the link is www.createspace.com/Preview/1098336

Vincent book proof is on it's way from the printers.

Waiting for postman.

Still waiting for postman.
Knock at the door!!!
Not postie.

Hairy Scary Day.

Today, I have mostly been pulling my hair out.

I've been filling in forms to get a U.S. Tax Identification Number so that I can sell Vincent on Amazon in America. As you can see, after I pulled all my hair out, I wasn't left with much, so on the way to school to pick up the smallest one I went via the specialist wig makers to purchase a funky hairpiece and 'gone bananas' hat. Cool or what?

Let me help, I'm good at painting...

As you can see, I have to admit, it's not all my own work, I've had some help. 

'Let me help ~ I'm really good at painting...'

By Crikey, I think I'm done!

It might have taken me the best part of 3 months, but at last I have drawn, scanned and fiddled with the last piece of artwork for Vincent. If nothing else, at least I now know what I'm doing and where I'm going, artistically speaking.

Vincent is now on a bit of a 'just be yourself' sort of journey. No sheep, no convention. He's just himself. Ok, so he's a Vampire Bat, but heck, he really doesn't like the smell of blood. He likes blackberries. So what?

The pics above are of Vincent's flight through the forest and into the castle where the scary vampires live. What a dopey bat, hasn't he noticed the hacked off hand on the table and the arm reaching out of the coffin?
