Self-publishing a book isn’t easy. I think writing the book was the easy part. Once my book is done, I’ll have a post or two about my publishing journey. For now, I’ll just share some local advertising – my first attempt to get my book some attention. The Facebook page started with zero followers. I don’t even have a personal Facebook account myself. It started with my wife creating the page and sharing articles I write for my website’s blog. From there, without a book to sell yet, I need to somehow draw people to my page and build excitement for the book.
Do Princess and Goose Really Love to Snuggle?
It’s a theme you’ll see frequently in the series – Princess and Goose snuggling with Queen Isabella and Sir Logan. But do Chloe and Tiny, the inspiration for Princess and Goose, really love to snuggle? I think it’s fair to say that the only thing they love more than snuggling is eating treats. Although our dogs are large (by most peoples’ point of view) at 60 lbs. each, they don’t think twice about laying on you and demanding tummy rubs.
Meet Our Protagonist – Queen Isabella
Queen Isabella and the real-life Isabella: both are brave, kind, and smart. I already used the nickname Princess in the story, so Isabella became a Queen.
I did my best to channel Isabella as I put these stories together and add more personal touches for the characters. She had a role in defining the basic look of her character, including the necklace, crown, and armor skirt, but it took Tony to bring these ideas to life through the character designs, page layouts, and final artwork in the stories. Isabella had final approval on the designs so we could make sure she was happy with the complete series.
What are the Adventures of Princess and Goose About?
The Adventures of Princess and Goose is a fun new children’s fantasy series that chronicles the exploits of a band of friends from the beautiful Crystal City.
In this first story, Chase Away the Dragons, readers meet the young hero, Queen Isabella, as she joins with two brave adventure-seeking dogs, Princess and Goose, to stop an invading dragon army. These heroes join forces for the first time, devise a plan to overcome the dragons, and put their plan into motion.
