About the Book

Quirky Claus is a new alternative take on the traditional Christmas story. As the mischievous cousin of the rather better known Santa Claus, he resides with his sidekick and not always, the most loyal of friends - Timothy the Toucan or A.K.A Timothy, (surname) Toucan. Quirky Claus , through a series of unique misadventures, gets himself into one increasingly difficult predicament after another; as he attempts to deliver an array of unusual, incredibly bizarre but above all unexpected Christmas presents to the naughty children of the world. Who, lets be honest, really would have been wiser to have behaved better before the actual big day itself, of course!

Table of Contents:
An elaborate imaginative cover - filled with spontaneity and engaging enthusiasm for the reader. Humorous nameplate for children to fill in & personalise. There are a 14 vibrant full colour 'double page' illustrations, also 3 full equally vividly coloured single illustrations; inclusive of a fun (no honestly...) questionnaire for the children to engage in and answer on the final page! Not forgetting an entertaining & carefully crafted synopsis on the reverse cover, which draws the reader in.

About the Author :
*The earliest ambition I recall having was to join the noble ranks of the British Army. Hold on... I am getting there! But only 'the' second... actually at the tender age of six years - on a family walk, was to be a writer! This came upon myself with more a profound sense of meaningful vocation than just about anything 'before or since,' I have ever experienced in the entirety of my life. In actuality, a fortune teller... and here is where it gets all mysterious and ethereal... *Cue: rolling pall of fog and strange evocative howls erupting from the dark of the night! I digress somewhat... nevertheless, I had not told anyone at this stage of my visionary ambition! However the peculiar thing is... cue: yet more rolling emotive banks of fog - not too much however, or we would not be able to see one another, and that would just be plain daft! Nonetheless, for good measure... even yet more eldritch sounds emanating 'spookily' from the chill night air. As chance would have it... or perhaps 'not', on this very same trek, my gramps professed, that he had visited a fortune teller, and she had hence prophesized: "One of your weee little grandchildren would be a writer! "Well, not in so many words... but you can only barely manage to get the grasp of any conversation, which must have taken place over any glittering ethereal orb. Bearing in mind, at this juncture of my life, I had not told a living soul of my dreams - it did therefore seem somewhat auspicious. So, in one way or the other - for my mere 45 years of life in our brief span of existence on this... effervescent ball of blue rock, I have been aiming towards this! However squint eyed gypsies aside (a prerequisite of any self-respecting Romany Traveller) staring into glowing-nebulous crystal globes; it seems that I am not too bad at this writing lark... after all! *Currently, I am in the process of completing my next novel for young people and those like myself - who do an "almost" passable impersonation of being an adult! This is a comic fantasy titled... The Tallest Dwarf

Review :
Joanne Harris described the book as, "Really, rather quite good!" Sean McManus freelance journalist and prolific author of several books: including University of Death, www.sean.co.uk described the book, Quirky Claus of course (am I stating the obvious?) and the Sample Pages as: "Great - really interesting piece of work!" He has also written a book on website design, and given me a few pointers; so if this page looks a little dodgy - you know who to blame! :0) Hi Seb, I have to say I liked your ideas for kids stories greatly - the concept was as good - if not better than in the published children's books my kids already have (and they have quite a library going on there. Both my children spend quite a lot of time reading and as a family we are always in and out of bookshops; so we think we are quite discerning about what is and what isn't a good read or plot. Have also shown your ideas to my young nephew, who is 5 years of age and they all thought your ideas were good. There also seems to be a lot of scope for follow-ons. Jools Hi Sebastian, I read to her the story of Quirky Claus, and she said, "What a good wee book," and "could I read it again?" That's about as good as you're ever gonna get from a 2 year old! Sarah (Celtic Highland Lady)
