Naked Tea.

This may be of interest to some of you. I just published a book called Naked Tea. It's only 54 pages long. I did the text and an artist called Lyle Schultz did the illustrations.

Actually it was Lyle who suggested we do the book. I mentioned to him that I had a lot of stuff written and I'd more or less given up trying to interest 'real' publishers. Lyle liked the Burroughs bits especially and we decided to make a small book based just on them. This involved some rewriting and a process of matching the graphics to the text and a few heated arguments but we got there in the end. We did the whole thing ourselves except for the printing of course.

So now we're at the promotion stage which is quite a process in itself.

There's been interest from some obscure corners....Burroughs is something of a minority taste. Sales have been healthy but it takes time. Fortunately we aren't expecting to get rich off the venture. That was never the point.

There's a facebook fanpage if you want to know more...

And here's a link if you want to buy a copy...

In conclusion I'd like to thank Tony and ABC Tales for getting me this far. I probably wouldn't have written a lot of it without the opportunity to get it out there and to get some valuable feedback from readers (you know who you are).

Seasons Greetings....Chuck.

Keep on working at your writing. Just to hold a little gem which you yourself have produced is fantastic!!
Just ordered a copy- love picture books with a meaning- am a grown-up kid at heart...
Thanks Pia....it's in the mail.
This looks fantastic, I may treat myself to it once I'm done spending all my money on everyone else over the Christmas period. Congratulations!
