Characters Wanted!!
Posted: Fri May 25, 2012 3:08 pm
Hi There Everyone! I hope this weather has you dreaming of landy style escapes! I know I have a few planned already.
I need your help! I am very excited about my new project, I am writing a series of children's short stories and picture books based on the land rover, and I need inspiration for characters. So, in short, I want pics of your landy's and tales of your off road adventures!
The trucks need to be of the series variety 1949 to uh...1983?? cant remember exactly, but anything from series 1 to 3. I may move towards defenders, but not yet. Stories can be any of the adventures I know you've had simply by owning a series truck..."one day i was headed north when..." for example.
Better yet!!
If you are really keen, I have a way for your to support this project. If you send a $100 or more in support of this project, I will create an illustrated character inspired by your landy to appear in book, you will also receive a signed first edition copy of the finished book, a framed illustration of your truck character and a letter of thanks, from me, the author!
My intention is to have a series of books that teach kids about the world from an overlanding point of view. It will be a great "go to" book for fathers and sons to enjoy at bed time and share their love of off-roading and adventure (while learning a thing or two!)
If you have questions, comments or are just super keen to get involved, then send me a note and we will chat.
The project is just getting started, but we already have lots of great ideas, illustrations, story boards and enthusiasm from the rover community!
Thanks and have a great day!
