Blinky Bill Rescues the Budgie (1994) Post 263
Blinky Bill Rescues the Budgie is one of several books I did in connection with the Blinky Bill series in the 1990s. This particular title is based on a TV episode which was story-lined by someone else. As far as I can remember, (it is 23 years ago, after all...) the company would send me a video-tape of the episode, which I'd play on a VCR, stopping often to run it back, recap and repeat. Once I had a handle on the story, I'd use actual dialogue and create the narrative from the action on screen. It was an interesting project. In this story, Blinky and friends rescue a budge in a cage and try to find him an appropriate and comfortable home.

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.
