'The Corgi Games' is out in paperback now! Woohoo!
It's a bit slim, but then, I'm used to handling novels rather than books of illustrated doggerel. The illustrations throughout the book are all in full colour. I'm quite chuffed with it, actually - it's been created through Amazon's CreateSpace program.
Here's another pic from it:

Marathon
Panting and grunting and panting some more,
almost drowning out the cheers;
little legs pumping, paws getting sore.
Tongue flapping,
lolloping ears;
paws on the trail slapping.
Focussing on the music your body makes,
forgetting all your fears;
forgetting all your pains and aches…
Each paw thud sets the tone,
the ground flies by, hurt disappears.
RacerCorgi is in The Zone.
(until someone yells: “Supper!” - and then
he’s not…)

This is another pic and verse from The Corgi Games....

'The Corgi Games' (book) puts in an appearance...
Of course, the Queen's Jubilee AND the London Olympics in the same year begs for combination - hence - The Corgi Games - in which Welsh Corgi dogs engage in various forms of sport (including sack racing) in their usual stylish and winning way. In rhyme. Natch.
The Corgi Games is on Amazon for Kindle, but not yet in paperback - I've not used Amazon's CreateSpace before for paperbacks so that's a wait and see thing, really. Of course, the pics on your Kindle (unless you have a fancy one) will be in black and white, but I've made the paperback full colour so I'm waiting pretty impatiently to see that one... Anyway, here it is - it's received its first review so I'm chuffed. (Why do I always feel so shy about announcing new books etc??). The formatter I used was brilliant but of course so much depends on the size the reader makes their font...
I hadn't really taken on board how little of the book would be seen in the sample so I'm putting another sample on here - I'll put the Sledding verse and pic:
 |
Sledding
He loved going so fast
that everything went by in a blur.
It was such a blast
to have the wind race through his fur.
Speeding along was a thrill,
and always to win
with never a spill
produced such a big grin!
(The only trouble came when he forgot his
mouth guard
and he’d get to the finish line with his
tongue frozen hard
to his shoulder, which was always a pain,
and absolute agony til it thawed out again.)

Undercover cloche cat
(She knew no one would recognise her in this hat. She never wore it unless she was undercover. Usually it would be a trilby.) |

Jeff-Dog looking jaundiced for good reason...
 |
| This is Jeff-Dog looking all suspicious. He's looking like that - all jaundiced - because he knows what I'm like with a camera.... |
And - what do you know??? Here he is again looking like he's only got three legs.... (He was right to be suspicious.)
