Join me in an online experiment
Posted: February 6, 2015 Filed under: Freebies, Space and Aliens | Tags: activity book, alien, cartoon, free, give away, How to make an alien activity book, humor, iBook, iPad, space 7 CommentsHelp me sky rocket the charts & click to download my new free iBook, ‘How to make an alien activity book’
And yes I realise not everyone has an iPad, so if you have friends with children who you think would enjoy this, then send them this link.
Yes, I’m still here at the bottom of the image in the hope that if you haven’t clicked yet, you’ll do so now with a bit more patient prodding.
Those of you who have followed my site over the last 4 years know that I don’t go shoving my stuff down your throat (very often). So, if you’ve enjoyed my work so far, your finger clicking help would be appreciated as the e-world is a tough environment to crack. If you really want to make my day, then rate it on iBooks too.
So, back to the experiment. You’ll be able to check in live to see if the eBook is making traction. Once I have 5 ratings, there should be an overall rating displayed in the iBook Store. (Why 5 – well, even Google was a bit stumped on what number it was and the best it could find was ‘hear say’ on forums). Anyway, together let’s see what happens.
Are you in? Then click now.
Introducing Cosmic Caboodle
Posted: January 22, 2015 Filed under: Science, Space and Aliens, Website announcements | Tags: alien, black hole, cartoon, Cosmic Caboodle, funny, humor, humour, launch, new website, science 4 CommentsHave you ever wanted to own your very own bit of outer space?
Perhaps a handful of gravel from Mars or a chunk of moon rock, or maybe you’re thinking a bit bigger… how about a planet, star or black hole?
Now you can own your very own piece of the universe
Come and visit as we are celebrating the official launch with a new product we call The Sizzler. Can you guess what it is? Check it out here.
In case you are wondering where this fits in with my regular postings, it was inspired by my soon to be released book How to make an Alien which involves outer space. I set up this site to engage with lovers of outer space (and aliens 🙂 ). I thought it would be a great way of continuing with the fun in the book.
Check out the site and leave a message to let me know what you think. Better still, subscribe too.
A Merry Christmas Freebie
Posted: November 28, 2014 Filed under: Freebies | Tags: alien, cartoon, christmas, christmas cracker template, DIY, funny, giveaway, houmour, humor, just outside the box Leave a commentYes, it’s time for another Fabulous Friday Freebie.
Make Christmas personal this year with your very own home made crackers.
This freebie comes complete with:
- wrapper design
- a really daggy hat (but it wouldn’t be the same without one)
- a really cool cartoon joke (made by yours truly and pretty funny if I do say so myself) and
- of course, instructions (a last resort for most)
This year, in celebration of my soon to be released kids picture book – How to make an Alien – we’ve gone for an alien theme. Enjoy and download today!
