The Ducktators

Welcome to Sally's book-a-day-for-2017 blog. If unfamiliar with the blog, scroll down.

The Ducktators- 2007- (post 205) 

10th anniversary edition

The Ducktators. Flip Chase is used to her brother's friend, Duncan Plotznik. He arrives, vanishes into the shed, and guts a few computers on a regular basis. When Duncan invites her on an outing, she is quite nonplussed. It's not a date... is it? But then the ducktators enter the scene and Flip is too busy to think about anything else.

E-book

I wrote The Ducktators after learning a few things about imprinting (which I have used in a few other books too) and the way animals can will humans to do things. I had lots of fun with this one and the sole reviewer that ever took notice liked it too. Here's the review! Flip's friend Berry shows up in another story taking place in the same reality, which is very nearly ours. The AgriFair at which Flip and Duncan acquire the ducks is based somewhat on Agfest to which I have been two or three times. Finding something weird at a fair/show is also a theme I've used more than once; notably in "Drummond" and "The Magician's Box".
The Ducktators is available in PDF, ebook and paperback. Click on the links to see details of cost and availability. The cover image is by Lu Cotter aka The Duchess of Drumborg.

The goal for 2017 is to write a post a day profiling the background behind one of my books; how it came to be written, what it's about, and any things of note that happened along the way. If you're an author, an aspiring author, a reader or just someone who enjoys windows into worlds, you might find this fun. The books are not in any special order, but will be assigned approximate dates, and pictures, where they exist. If you enjoyed a post, or want to ask about any of my books or my manuscript assessment service, leave me a message.
