message 18: by Peter (last edited Aug 05, 2015 08:35PM)

Peter G'day Nicole, I am a new Children's book author living in Australia and have released my first book in November last year. I find it difficult getting my book to be noticed by Libraries and Schools where I think it would be most beneficial for Children. Any help or suggestions that may be helpful to me would be appreciated greatly. My book is titled 'Bugs Bugs Bugs Everywhere There Are Bugs' and from the title you can tell it's all about Bugs. It's aimed towards children aged 2-5 who like or have an interest in Bugs. The simple illustrations are a little quirky and fun for all ages as adults can easily relate and enjoy them with the children. Most if not all the experiences covered in the book have happened to me or someone I know. I was born in South Australia in 1964 and moved to N.S.W. in the Hunter Valley in 1986. I have mostly worked in the Winery industry until 2004 when I was made redundant. It was only in 2005 that I started to write seriously and this was for my children. My children liked my stories so much that I decided to let others read my stories and then the local primary school. The feedback was great so I found some local Authors to see what they thought and they all told me I should continual writing and try to get it published, which was easier said than done. But I persisted and here I am and I hope you don't think it was a mistake asking me to be a friend on Goodreads! If you wish we could also be friends on Facebook as well, this is me page link if you like https://www.facebook.com/pages/Peter-... and as a added bonus my Amazon like http://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B...

Hope to here from you again and have a nice day Peter.
