Fuzzy bumble bees (not wasps, no one likes wasps)

This week has been super productive for Squidgy Face Books.. firstly, we reached 100 fans on facebook, wahaaaay! And, to celebrate, I spent 45 minutes creating this rather snazzy video on Powerpoint (watch out Steven Spielburg!). I've included the link here because the video is saved on another computer, so i'll upload the proper one tomorrow:

I've also nearly finished what I think will be my second children's book, it's about a pretty awesome bumblee bee. I won't ruin the surprise yet, but he's fuzzy, greedy and looooves his honey. And, as always, my inspiration always starts with a few hours spent on Pinterest, finding interesting bumbleey bee things like this:

I would much rather write about bees than wasps, because to be honest, bees are quite nice and would only sting when provoked. Unlike wasps who like stinging everyone because they can. I will never forget when I was 11 and the ice cream man gave me a free cone (because I was his best customer) and it was literally drizzled with the good stuff.. strawberry sauce, flake, sprinkles - the works. And who came along uninvited? A wasp. So I dropped it. And when I asked for another one, they didn't believe me because they thought i'd already eaten it in about 30 seconds (which, on reflection, I don't blame them for - it had been done before). So that is why my book is about a lovely fluffy bumblee and not a wasp, because no one likes wasps.

Perhaps, most excitingly, I discovered one of my favouritest books of all time. Karen and the Lost Kitten. Aaaaahhh!! This is a classic. An amazing book with finger puppets = marvellous.

Anyway, I digress. All of my ebook accounts have also been set up with Barnes & Noble, iTunes, Google Play, Kobo Books and Amazon. Hoo-ray. I'd be interested to know where you (if anyone is actually reading this) buy your books online - do tell, do tell. 

And to finish off another blog post, here is an inspirational quote for you all - one of my personal faves (and recently pinned, of course).
