My name is Ian Mayes and I live in the UK.

I am an author and illustrator and I am on the verge of publishing a new book that’s titled A day in the life of Russell Sprout.

It will help teach basic food nutrition, as nutrition has always been something I have studied and been interested in. I have qualifications in the subjects and I wanted to create a book that was fun, educational with added humour for good measure.

But what I have realised is that the block is a short term thing and usually just when you least expect it, an idea or the continuation of the story will just pop in you’re mind.

Scientists predict that we are close to pushing over the 1.5c warming limit, I felt that children should be more prepared in the event of global warming increasing climate change further and what that may mean for future generations to come, we have some time left to change our ways.

Audio format of Russell Sprout

Yesterday, for the first time I was able to listen to the audio version of A day in the life of Russell Sprout.

It was really fun, funny to hear all the characters come to life even more so with the extremely talented narrator’s voice.

If you like audio books, maybe you should consider adding it to your library when it is published. I will add it here when I know the date.

Also, I am on the final sta Read more of this blog post »
