The History of my Children's Animal Book

I used to work in a Real Estate office about 5 years ago as a property manager. It was probably the most boring job I had ever had. Lunch hour consisted of squeezing into a little cubicle out of view of the front desk and hoping you could actually get to eat lunch without answering the phone.

I started writing during that time just to take my mind off such things as tenant problems, fence disputes and rental arrears. Slowly but surely my scribblings turned into a story about a cheeky pig that had an adventure with his farmyard friends. I wrote it all out in longhand and forgot about it.

When I left that Real Estate office (yay!) , I cleaned out my desk and there was my little story. I had a bit more tim to myself so I typed it up on my computer at home and called it "The Adventures of Percy the Little Pink Pig" and forgot about it for a few more years.

I had a couple of hard drive crashes over the years and lost a lot of files. However "Percy" seemed to always survive. The along came Kindle. Finally Percy had found a home and in February 2013 "The Exciting Adventures of Percy the Pig" was published.

It's a children's animal story that has a message for the children who read. it. There are not too many children's chapter books coming out at the moment, so I hope it does well. So does Percy!
