For those of you who remember the old Cali Forums, you may recall Deep Space Doris: the worlds oldest astronaut...pretty much how I feel.
But I digress. After 10 years or more I finally made a book from it. Its a 70 page illustrated book for older kids and my biggest yet. I am so happy to have committed to this and made something other than a few concept images.
Its here: http://www.lulu.com/product/ebook/deep- ... g/18960340" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; but has been submitted to iBooks and the Nook Store.
Not trying to sell it, just wanted to share the news within a group where most might appreciate the work that goes into making something like this using trueSpace.
I also started a page on Facebook to promote it:

Deep Space Doris launched into iSpace!
Re: Deep Space Doris launched into iSpace!
hooyah!
Got my order in, downloaded and read to read on the old acrobat reader!
I skimmed through and found Doris standing in the rain on Bingo night! I thought we resolved this issue!
(taps foots)
Okay, well it looks like a grand presentation and I'm a proud subscriber to Doris the 'book' er.. Doris the 'EBook' er 'Doris the Deep Space Explorer!'
Thank you sir! You are a scholar and a gentleman (not necessarily in that order.)

Re: Deep Space Doris launched into iSpace!
its always raining...
Can't tell if you are joking James, did you actually buy the ebook on a PC? If you did, many thanks. I only really envisaged it selling on tablets or as part of the web experience. Would be interested to hear how it looks/reads on other devices.
Oh, there is a sample of the book to download for free but its about 10% of the whole books. Still, its free.

My grandchldren come to visit so I will let them read it as a reward for good behavior.
Of course, I like to read the storyline and look at the images you skillfully crafted through the years. I may allow my mother to read it as she's an artist in the 'china painting' world - only if she behaves herself though.
I'm very happy you got Doris out their first, she deserves it!
Thank you for sharing your talents.

Thank you James, your trust in me will be rewarded. Drop me an email to info@buddyworldbooks.com and I will sort you out an online pass so the kids can read all the books and play the interactive games as much as they want for the next 6 months...

Best wishes Paul from us all, and I think we all are in agreement when I say that I hope that it sells a ton of copied. Greetings to all TBW. Leroy.

Re: Deep Space Doris launched into iSpace!
Weird, it looks like my reply didn't post yesterday.
Anyway... Congrats Paul! It looks like quite an accomplishment!
I would like to share this with my friends that have kids. What would you say is the target age group for Deep Space Doris?
