Doodle Mayhem

What if... your doodle came to life and started pulling letters off the page and throwing them at you...?

Doodle Mayhem came about when I read an article about not letting your characters take over – well that just sent my imagination into overdrive, why shouldn’t a character take over? And how can you stop them anyway?  I find that once a character starts to speak, they take on a life of their own, and then there’s no knowing what’s going to happen...

I knew that I really had something when I read an early draft to a group of primary school children. I was soon aware of the silence that had descended over the group, and realising I had the attention of everyone there, I was soon as immersed in the story as everyone else, as our surroundings slipped away, and we were right there with Eric, as Iver No-Idea ripped letters off the page and started throwing them at him.

First in the Doodle series:

Doodle Mayhem

The Blurb:

Eric would rather doodle than write a story, but when the words start to disappear off the page in front of him, and his doodle starts talking to him, he thinks he must be dreaming. Eric's doodle has come to life, and he's getting bored; he jumps into Miranda's story, where he gets attacked by a rubber, then he's blown off his feet when Natasha sneezes. Miss Roper is getting angrier by the second. How will Eric ever finish his story, when his doodle just wants to have fun, and create havoc?

Lost in the Christmas Post

When Iver No-Idea jumps into a Christmas card and sinks up to his knees in the snow it's just the beginning of Eric's troubles.

Second in the Doodle series

The Blurb:

Eric's doodles are on the rampage again. Iver No-Idea and his dog HB are no ordinary doodles, they're alive; and stories and pictures come alive around them. When Iver No-Idea jumps into a Christmas card and sinks up to his knees in the snow it's just the beginning of Eric's troubles.

Eric comes up with an idea to control Iver No-Idea, but it only makes matters worse, and soon Iver and HB are running through the Christmas cards, knocking things over and jumbling things up. But when HB goes missing, and Iver No-Idea sets out to find him, Eric is afraid he might have lost his doodle friends for good.

42 page paperback with black and white drawings.

A Face Full of Snow

A story of determination, of falling down and getting up again, of unruly ski equipment, and of a trouble maker called Iver No-Idea...

Third in the Doodle series.

The Blurb:

As Eric crashes his way down the ski slope, totally out of control, his only consolation is that Iver No-Idea isn't there to see.

Iver No-Idea and his dog HB are doodles. But they are no ordinary doodles - they're alive, and words and pictures come alive around them. Iver No-Idea has been learning to ski in a ski brochure. He's been practising for weeks and now he thinks he's an expert, and can't wait to tell Eric how it's done.

But when Iver No-Idea and HB are left behind, they find a way to gatecrash Eric's holiday. They arrive at just the wrong time, causing their own unique brand of trouble.

50 page paper back with black and white drawings.
