Aha! this must be a cue for a song!
Didnt i read that you are working on some music to accompany the Days of Yore? Combining the two – that’s a bonus!

Frog has recently commisioned his very own theme music, for our wagsite and our new audio CD, and we are VERY excited about it! Partly because it is yet another facet of Frog the Dog World, but much more because its so inpsiring to hear someone else’s interpretation of what we do. As we have done everything ourselves up until now, having other outside input is a very novel and interesting experience. the musician told us he didnt usualy write happy music, so it was a novel experience for him too
What will be your next trick?

Well I enjoy music more, per say, because when you are playing with other people it just releases endorphins and gives you a natural high you just can’t get anywhere else. But I tend to feel more of a feeling of accomplishment from writing a good book or story than I do after writing a good song. Maybe it’s because I’ve completed alot more songs than I have books and stories!

Hi Bimmy!
Myspace is alot of fun and I think it helps to get the word out, but it takes a bit of time adding friends who share interests in children’s books, and it gets a bit spammy sometimes.
I like Cafepress for the moment because it makes some extra merchandise available to the readers who want it without costing alot of up-front money, but of course the ideal situation is getting the merchandise printed by a wholesale distributor and selling it off of your own website.
Looking forward to seeing your website and shop this summer, and I wish you great luck!

Hi Joe,
Have just had lovely time meeting your Frawg – Frog the dog and i often go into primary schools to run writing workshops, and it is just the most fun.
Have got Myspace on my list of things to do – how do you find it for raising your profile?
And how do you find Cafepress for your merchandise?
I’m about to re-launch my website with an online shop full of frogtastic stuff that will become available over the summer, which is very exciting, but i have no idea how it will all go! All these new tehnologies….

Good to meet you, see you around!
Bimmy
