Ug and the Giant's Backyard

I've been pissing and moaning for the last few weeks about my lack of motivation, but I'm pleased to say that that isn't such a problem at the moment.  I've been able to write most nights, and I'm happy with my output.

That said, I do feel like I'm caught in-between projects.  Jack Manley and the Warlord of Infinity isn't selling, and The Lightless Labyrinth is quite far from completion.  What I really need is a finished project that I can release in the interim, if only to bolster my own morale.

Luckily, I have one.  About ten years ago I had a children's picture book published through a small press.  (This was an achievement somewhat mitigated by the fact that I was on the editorial team, albeit in a different department.)  Ug and the Giant's Backyard had about 200 copies printed, and to be honest I don't know how many of them were sold.  I didn't see any money out of it, but it was pretty exciting at the time.

I'm going to try to publish it again, with a few alterations.  I'm not going to touch the text very much, but I want to colour the illustrations this time.  I did the art myself, and I'm not going to change that.  I had a blast putting little macabre touches to an otherwise friendly kids' book.

Hopefully I'll be able to get it available within the next month or two.  I'll keep you posted!
