The Big Question

Now that we have recovered from the work of publishing and promoting the first book in The Adventures of Victor and Percy series. We are turning our thoughts back to Victor and Percy and the next book. We took some time off to concentrate on our electrical and plumbing business.

The big question is should we go ahead and produce the next book in the series in a similar format or should we alter the format and target a younger audience and produce an Easy Reader. Targeting a younger audience would have the added benefit of opening up a potential market in merchandise and educational material.

If we follow the same format, the next book will feature Victor Voltage in an electrical adventure. It will contain about 6000 words, 65 illustrations and be aimed at 7 - 9 year olds.

If we change the format and produce an Easy Reader aimed at 4 - 5 year olds the focus of Victor and Percy will change completely. This book would still contain about 65 illustrations but would have limited text. Typically each page would contain just two sentences in large print and the language used would be suitable for young children. If we decide on the Easy Reader option then the first book Percy Pulls the Plug would be adapted and relaunched.

We are going to decide by the end of the year. We would like to hear your thoughts.
