November 2020 will stay a significant month in my life. As this was the month I officially became an author!
And my first published book is “Superstar Galaxy: Four Planets”. It is a children’s book about some odd aliens and their unusual planets. The book that starts a whole series of books about a galaxy far, far away. The print version was published on Amazon on November 6. And the ebook appeared there on November 10.
Prior to this, I already posted my works publicly. Mostly that was my poetry. You can still read them on my Instagram profile. It is funny that the poems are not at all aimed at a children's audience. However, at the beginning of this year my wife and I got the idea for a children's book. And somehow it happened that we began to work hard on it, work on illustrations, think through the characters, study information about the publication opportunities…
The whole process from the idea to the publication turned out to be quite long for a short children's book, more than six months. But after all, each of the steps we took for the first time: fonts, typesetting, translation and proofreading, studying the rules of Amazon…
Finally, everything has grown into the fact that now we have a real published book. This gives some subtle feelings. It seems as nothing has changed. On the other hand, a feeling of being a bit different inside. Maybe it is the feeling of the beginning of a long and interesting journey?
I believe that this path will indeed be long. For example, we are already working on the next books in the "Superstar Galaxy" series. We also have half-finished materials for the fantasy series "Cloch and Bua". Moreover, there are plans to publish a collection of poetry along with short stories.
Well, the path begins. And it begins with a funny story about amusing aliens "Superstar Galaxy: Four Planets". The book can now always be found on Amazon.
