Indeed, and in addition to all that there's my actual job as a curator – I'm working on two major new exhibitions in the museum at the moment. And my wife and I are having building work done on our house. There's not enough days in the week or hours in the day! It is hard work but I wouldn't do it all if I didn't love it.  :-*

The cover reveal for this book is set for next Thursday. I'll share it here, of course!

Thanks! Even though it is ostensibly for children I think it's a book adults like us will also enjoy!

Sorry for answering that late. Oh yes, you are a Curator aswell :D The Salute just got a bit bigger.

Congatulations on the Book again. The Artwork looks really good! It is something special, to see a Book that is aimed at Children, looks like a Book for Children, but doesn't look like a generic "i once heard something about Dinosaur" Kidsbook. One can see the Work that went into this.

It is a Book for Children, but if it is normally acquirable i have to get a Copy after the release :) Thanls for sharing.

Smilodon P.

He looks very entertaining and educational. So, Congratulations on your new book, Dr. Admin

Thanks! Yes, lots of work to get everything right! It will be widely available, including on Amazon (co.uk at least) I believe. I'll share here various options when it becomes available.

Thanks, and you never know, if the book does particularly well it might lead to sequels!

There's plenty of potential to focus on other creatures with perplexing features.


Subduction

Definitely sign me up for a signed copy! Even if the book's aimed for children, I can appreciate a book based on scientific fact and charming illustrations.

Congratulations! I'm looking forward to reading this book or any other book you publish in the future. :D
