In 1593 and 1594, when the theatres in London were closed because of the plague. Actor and playwright William Shakespeare found himself without an outlet for his usual livelihood. So, he turned to writing straight up poetry. He turned out two epic poems (on commission): Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece.
During the bulk of 2021 while fringe fests and other theatre venues were closed due to the pandemic, I found myself in the same sort of situation as ole Shakespeare. So, I created a children's picture book for my son. I published the book as a paperback early last year. I titled it Petey Gale Goes Up and Beyond. It is about adventure and friendship.
Here's a blurb:Petey Gale's friend Walter is one sad T-Rex. Petey has a plan to cheer him up and it involves a rare fruit in a far away land. This is a delightful tale of a friend helping a friend by heading off on an adventure to the far side of the globe on a hot air balloon.
Just recently, a year after the paperback was released, I have now put out a kindle ebook version. If you have a young one in your world, consider grabbing a copy.
