The technology works!

Interactive Touch Books for iOS devices
My interactive touch book (ITB) version of ‘The Day My Teacher Came to Tea’ is now finished and available for purchase. Hooray!  Mark (my techno-whizz-kid of a husband) and I had a lot of fun creating this book. We gave the spider a laid-back hippy style personality and I rather think that he steals the show.

We also took the opportunity to update the ITB version of ‘My Crazy Purple Pen’. I wanted to record a faster, more lively narration and also make it easier for the reader to navigate and activate the touch screen features.

YouTube promotional video for Interactive Touch Books
Then, as if we hadn’t spent long enough glued to our computer screen, we set about making a youtube video to promote the ITB books. A huge thank you to Mark for bringing all his techno-knowhow to bear on this project and for working on it so tirelessly on my behalf.
Updated website
And one last thing! Some of you may have noticed that the website has been updated, improved and is more functional than before. You can ‘like’ my website now or send me comments or questions.

Other news...
My third book, Birthday Cake Disaster, has been approved by Amazon (Createspace). I should receive my proof copy next week, after which it will become available for sale. I am very excited about this book, my longest to date and with a recipe for pink party cake included at the back (tried and tested I might add!).

Husband’s quote “I’ve liked all your books but this is my favourite so far!”

In the meantime I have been working on a series of pirate stories. I’ve been having great fun with this theme. These are now ready to be illustrated so watch this space....
