I am excited to reveal the cover of my new children's book being published this May. Obviously it is more relevant to the Dinosaur Toy Forum, but I'm sharing it here as well to help spread the word. For more information and a background to the book see: https://plesiosauria.com/the-plesiosaurs-neck-coming-soon/





The front and back covers together:

Good work! Wonder how much the DTF inspired it?

No, that's not my username on the DTF (I'm 'dinotoyforum').

Wonderful book, you have gotten published and even though I do not collect prehistoric creatures, or books on them I'll surely pick up one up as it was made by our ATF Admin!

Well Done Adam!

P.S I am also writing a book that I hope to get published, it's about my woodland during the coronavirus pandemic and my daily sightings of birds, plants and fungi.
I have called my book: 2020: A wild, wild year!
Don't I take long uploading photos!
