The Easter Chick and A Creative Writing Course


The Easter Chick, Creative Writing Course News and Alfonso the Tortoise in Paperback!

Hi, I'm Alfonso. This week I want to tell you how I started to learn about creative writing and tell you about a cute Easter chick and the news that the Easter Chick is so excited about - Alfonso the Tortoise is now out in paperback.

Who is the Easter Chick?

Well a cute Easter Chick has been following me around all week.

"Ooh - what's this" says the Easter Chick

Apparently he has become a big fan. He found something of interest when he was having a wander!

"Ooh - now this looks very interesting!" says the Easter Chick
The Easter Chick got all excited to tell everyone the news!

"Ooh - I can't believe it! It's finally out on paperback!" squealed the Easter Chick
The Easter Chick was very happy when he found the paperback of Alfonso the Tortoise. He just couldn't wait to tell all his friends and ask his Mummy for it.


"Ooh that looks really good!" says the Easter Chick

Alfonso the Tortoise is now available on Amazon in Paperback and E-book



Fairford Centre Creative Writing Course

Susan first studied creative writing with an online course from the Fairford Centre.

Susan says it was a wonderful course which covered writing fiction for children, adults, non-fiction and more.

Without this course I wouldn't have been born. Whilst Susan Moffat was studying one of the first modules, she had to write a short story which included using all the five senses.

When Susan was studying Creative Writing - I was born!


The story was about a tortoise called Alfonso - yes, you've guessed it! It's me! Well, Susan later went on the improve my story and illustrated my story - which led to Alfonso the Tortoise.

Happy studying!

Love Alfonso

Alfonso the Tortoise Book Sample

Prince Alfonso the tortoise woke up one sunny morning in his small hut in the Land of Garden. Still feeling sleepy, he slowly plodded out of his hut and then yawned.   He felt the sun warm up his face and brown shell. He smiled and said to the world, 'hello world.'   'Hello, Mr Royal Prince,' said a cheeky little worm, who had just popped his head up out of the grass. 'Ooh, hello. I didn't see you there. What's your name?' 'I’m Willie and I’m so excited to meet you. I’ve been hearing all sorts of stories about you. Your crown is amazing!' 'Thanks,' replied Alfonso, chuckling to himself. It seemed lots of folk had heard about him.  'Are you enjoying life here in the Land of Garden? Can you tell me about how you got here? Do you think you'll stay here?' asked Willie eagerly, keen to know everything about Alfonso. 'I do love living here! A beautiful garden, filled with friendly c...

Welcome to Read, Review, Love! This time I’m reviewing a fantasy book called The Sword and the Flame: The Forging by CP Bialois.         Amazon Book Description In a world where magic and the sword rule and dragons are forgotten, a band of friends find each other but can they overcome their own fears and trials in time to fulfill their destiny?

I will definitely be reading the 2 nd and 3 rd books in the series as I ha...

Being An Author: Questions From A Young Reader

Image
Recently, one of my young readers asked me several questions about being an author. I thought that you may find the questions and answers interesting. How do you get your books published?  There are a number of ways that you can get your books published. The main ways are by sending your book to a publisher or by publishing yourself. There may be other options, although I don't know about them. A Self Published Paperback and E-Book With the first option you send your books to publishers (one at a time) and see if they are interested in your book. They will then do a lot of the hard work for you, although you will probably be expected to edit your book. This means making improvements so that the book is the best it can possibly be. Alternatively, you can decide to publish yourself (this is called self publishing).I decided to publish the books myself. Do you have to do it on computer? It is always a good idea to write up your book onto a computer. That way you...
