Alphapets published and starting Alphapets Too

Last week my book Alphapets by Clancy came out in print and ebook forms. Quickly it was picked up by Storyberries and has over 6000 views as of this writing! Storyberries has already asked me for a sequel! Details below! First here are a few photos of pages inside the printed Alphapets book.

Here’s one of the delightful pictures I was sent by a grownup to show me how much my book was enjoyed! I love seeing the smiles!! That’s why I do this work – smiles like this!!!

As I finished Alphapets several people following my project asked me if I would please start the alphabet again because it was such fun. Some also asked if I would include house pets besides cats and dogs in my next book. I replied yes to both questions! These questions, and the discussions with Storyberries got me excited and an idea for Alphapets Too began to form!

So right away I began work. My first task was to think about what I and other people enjoyed most about Alphapets: the “hidden” letters, the colors/clothes on the pets and the silly rhymes. I, personally, enjoyed the audiobook version Storyberries.com created! I’m having fun thinking of poetry as pictures with sound now!

To begin Alphapets Too my working process is roughly like this: Here I am looking online for a list of common pets other than cats and dogs. I came up with more than 26! I didn’t realize there were so many “common” house pets that aren’t cats or dogs! And, yes, my studio laptop assistant is helping!

In this photo below, I am writing notes on a pad with my fountain pen. These are very loose notes, I’m just playing. (My studio laptop assistant had another project to work on and so isn’t in the photo.) I’m sitting near a lot of books about writing – and several dictionaries – just in case.
