One of the biggest joys of being in business, working for myself and contracting is getting to walk this journey with many fabulous people, and see them grow, build and find success.

Today I want to celebrate Andy Coltart who is an Artist and Teacher who found a real skill for writing alongside his passion for storytelling, building up young people and tackling issues to encourage them to walk through the challenges of growing up.

I have had the privilege to work with him to digitise his drawings to get good definition in the black and white drawing conversions, and later help with shooting costumed characters, designing book covers and helping bring the story visually to life!

One day he might share his own story but for now, we get the joys of fictional characters on adventures. Today his 6th published book and #3 in a trilogy just came on sale on Amazon :

📘Riley Bennett - The Stellar Alliance

Continuing the action and intrigue for 13-18's (although in my mid 30's I've enjoyed escaping in these fun novels too... 🤫 shhhhhh...)

Previously published and rekindling a love of reading as evidenced by amazed parents saying things like:

💬 "I've never had to ask my daughter to stop reading and eat before!"

Or teens asking:

💬 "how long will I have to wait to discover what happens next?"

📚 Other published titles available:

📗 #1 - Riley Bennett - The Courage Within

Action-adventure for 13-18's tackling bullying, identity and purpose

📕 #2 - Riley Bennett - The Terror of Two Cities

Action-adventure for 13-18's tackling facing your fears and overcoming them

🐭 The Adventures of Ben the Mouse Book #1

🐹 The Adventures of Ben the Mouse Book #2

Collections of short stories of adventure, friendship and fun - suitable for children great for bedtime stories or for readers aged 6-9years with fantastic illustrations all hand-drawn by Andy.

(I can say first hand they are excellent pictures as I got to study them in detail digitising and balancing them for Black and White from the Colour originals!)

🐉 The Dragon Warrior #1:

Historic Saxon Fantasy Fiction for 11+ tackling bravery, courage, love and cultural expectations.

📸 Books 2 & 3 being typeset and covers designed 📸

I'm excited to be involved having booked the book cover photoshoot for next month
