My first book launched

Pixero · 30 Aug 2023, 10:01

As some of you know I have been writing and illustrating children’s books lately.
Finally my first book has been launched.
Available only in Swedish at the moment. But title in English is: Mira Broom & Tom Hat - The Book of Spells
It’s a chapter book for ages 6-9 and the first book of three in a series.
I have also made a website for the book http://www.mirakvast.se

I will grab the English version for my twin boys when its out so keep me updated.

I hope it does well for you! Did you do illustrations too?

Pixero · 30 Aug 2023, 10:41

I have both written and illustrated it.
I actually used SketchUp to model a stair for perspective reference for a few illustrations.

Looks great. Hope you have much success with it.

Very nicely done, Sir. If anything is fair, these will be the next Potted Harry series. You rock on.

Wow this is wonderful Jan, I wish you an outstanding success!

Just wanted to say that I have self published 3 picture books on Amazon.

They are in English and available here if anyone is interested:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/author/B0CPQ52HXW/allbooks?ingress=0&visitId=426cacec-1963-4ebd-a3c9-2d201f055d4c&store_ref=ap_rdr&ref_=ap_rdr

Only softcovers.

No news of a English version of Mira but I know a Danish version is on the way.

Pixero, they seem lovely!

With the utmost respect I wish you every success!
Just browsing through your website promises to be a lot of fun - for example I'd love to know what's connected to the shadowy guy called William Pokus !?
Great that this beautiful project has become real

Talent will always shine, shine on mate. Brilliant.

Without giving too much away I can say that Pokus stood for the wild untaimed magic and it is said that Hokus turned him into a shadow… or did he?

Ordering the set today! Well done

Rich O Brien · 14 Dec 2023, 10:22

Not really. They are print on demand.

Huh? We tried today and couldn't buy. I'll try again.

But I see this...

...and there's no way to order I can see

Pixero · 15 Dec 2023, 11:33

I’ve research this a bit and it seems it can go out of stock when the printer has too much to do. Like before Christmas. I’ll keep an eye if it becomes available again. It’s still available at Amazon.com though.

Update

Now my books seems to be available on Amazon.co.uk again.
Please take a look and if you like them please write a review.
