Droning On

I've been doing a little research about drones for my latest story. Did you know the following?

•  Drones are a type of UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle)
• The sophisticated ones are controlled by very intimidating GCSs (Ground Control Systems)
• In Helsinki, as I write this, a pilot (ha!) project is delivering fast food to residents
• Recently, CNN reported that the first kidney transplant was done using a kidney delivered by drone.

Call me one-track minded, but I can't wait for a drone to deliver a pizza and a paperback to my door.

In the meanwhile, I'm writing about what a couple of small boys might do if they stumble across a drone. Fun and chaos would ensue, I reckon.

More later...

The dinos look different

It used to be called simply Jo and Bruno - now, it's Jo & Bruno & The Dinosaurs. My story for middle-graders is a funny adventure starring two cousins who have to protect baby dinosaurs from horrible thieves.
The cover is new, too. The old one was very skilfully done, but I wondered if a new cover would help attract more attention. We'll see, I guess!
