This box set contains my first published books. I remember being really delighted there were finally some books in existence with my name on the cover. Now, after a lull in business I need to get going again on the ol' self promotion and motivation front. Remembering how I felt when I first saw this set certainly helps with the motivation side of things.

So, now I'm rereading the invaluable Children's Writers and Artists Yearbook 2006 and I've also bought a copy of an e-book, 'Illustration 101' by Max Scratchmann which is looking good so far and is full of useful 'hot tips.'
