The Monster Under The Bed - 10th Birthday on 31st January 2015
It's a title that grabs everyone's attention - it seems we all have a story to tell of the monster that lurks under our beds...
But it's also a title that makes people shy away in case it frightens their children - hey, come on, it's a children's picture book - it was written to entertain, not give nightmares.
Children like a hint of something scary, read to them in a safe environment, as long as all is well in the end. The Monster Under The Bed has a surprise ending to make you smile... so go on, buy a copy... I dare you to!
The Monster Under The Bed came out almost 10 years ago, and there's still a few first editions in my online bookshop.
It took it's place in Borders after my in store book signing:
It lead me to do a library opening and feature in Writers' News:
The Monster Under The Bed was my first published book, and is now in second edition under my own imprint: Lost in a Book
Priceless: being told that a copy of The Monster Under The Bed has been read until it's shabby - it's been a loved book, just like a favourite teddy.
