Manston author Carol M Salter will launch her second children’s picture book at an event in Westgate this month.
Shea Pingle and Swarm follows on from the success of her first pcture book Chicken Wizard.
The latest tale follows Shea Pingle, a fairy who cares for bees. She wakes them up in the morning, then checks they haven’t fallen asleep on the flowers during the day. One morning her life, and that of the bees, is turned upside-down.
The launch takes place on Saturday 19th October at Westgate Galleria, Station Road, Westgate from 10am to 3pm.
There will be a free raffle ticket with every purchase and all prizes are bee-related.
Carol’s picture books include a dedication page in the front for relatives and friends to write on, together with an activity section at the back. The story pages themselves are coloured to support those with difficulties reading on white paper.
Carol’s plans for picture books end also feature The Tales of Timmy and his Magic Toe-Beans which is set to hit the shelves in time for Christmas.
The book will feature beautiful scenes of Broadstairs and Margate in full colour, created by local illustrator Danny Ireton aka The Ginger Illustrator. A launch date will be announced shortly.
Work also progresses on Carol’s five remaining picture books currently in production and scheduled for release in 2025. These are Mustard and Marmalade – Dachshund Dog Detectives; the Unshakeable Mouse; The Hairy Tortoise; Further Tales of Timmy and his Magic Toe-Beans and a follow-up to Chicken Wizard too.
Carol’s eighth novel, a dark fantasy called Between Here and Hell, launched in July this year has gained many good reviews.
