Where I Like to Sleep

Rosie's Tail

Book Preview

Where I Like to Sleep is the outcome of my idea to create a book about my cats. From looking at photos, I decided there were so many funny places my cats liked to hide and sleep that the book had to be about where the cats liked to sleep. This became THE line of the book in the way that many other children's books have a recurring line.

So, find out where my curious cats like to sleep. I am selling the book on Blurb.com at £8.45 currently. Take a look at this 15 page preview or better yet buy a copy at:

Update on my book

The book is steadily progressing. I have the story completed. I just need the photos to go with the story.

I have been searching every folder on every computer in this house to find photos of my cats for this book. I still can't find some of the ones I was looking for but then I have found ones I had forgotten about which I may use instead of other ones.

I also decided I do want the photos to be edited so that they appear to be illustrations. I tried editing them using lots of features in Adobe Photoshop Elements. I found 'watercolour' was the best for my desired effect. But then I remembered about the editing features on Photobucket - with one called 'Cartoonize'. With luck, I remembered my password from years ago and uploaded a photo to try it out on. The default finish was a bit too strange for me but it is possible to change that so that the colours were a bit more normal. Now, it is definitely the look I wanted and so I am uploading loads of photos of my cats to edit!

So, it is all going well but I need to try to get it finished soon to allow enough time for printing and postage of the books. I just know this is going to be a great Christmas present though!
