Greetings from Fletcher Rhoden.com! The namesake here, happy to announce that FR.c has released IMAGINE NATHAN ON SUPERMARKET SAFARI as an ebook and in read-along video format. Over 40 fully illustrated pages -- all full-color, hand painted and digitally reproduced -- this first "Imagine Nathan" story turns a boring chore into a wild adventure into the deepest jungles! Go face-to-face with charging rhinos, deadly sea creatures and more as Imagine Nathan makes the everyday extraordinary. This is a great book for any imaginative child, homeschooler, busy parent or concerned teacher. The ebook is a handy pdf that downloads in a snap and is designed to be read on any computer or similar device. The read-along video will help your kids with any reading difficulties they may have, and downloads as a safe and convenient m4v file, perfect for iTunes. IMAGINE NATHAN ON SUPERMARKET SAFARI is my 3rd ebook for kids, after THAT'S RUDE, JUDE! and BALLOONZEE: LET'S GO FLOATIN'. There are several more Imagine Nathan adventures for possible sequels, in case any publishers are out there and are interested. Anybody can buy the book and video, as well as enjoying free ebook and video clips, at the new IMAGINENATHAN page of our home site, Fletcher Rhoden.com (www.fletcherrhoden.com/imaginenathan.htm). Publishers can request free pdfs when considering acquiring various rights by emailing me. The address is on the page.
To celebrate the release of IMAGINE NATHAN ON SUPERMARKET SAFARI, we've spruced up Fletcher Rhoden.com -- many of our videos are now embedded right on the page, so you don't have to link over to Youtube or Yahoo! Video and then back to the site. Also, the new CHILDREN'S STORE has been completely revamped for easy use. Check out the NEWS page to see what else has been added since you've been there last, and what you can expect when you go there to buy IMAGINE NATHAN ON SUPERMARKET SAFARI.
I was very happy with the way IMAGINE NATHAN ON SUPERMARKET SAFARI came out. Visually, it's a combination of a cartoonish style I sometimes use for face and body painting, but I used acrylics (my usual paint medium) instead of Indian ink (the norm). Kids' books are also often done in crayon, oil pastel and colored pencil. But the first two were hard to use and the colored pencils weren't going to give me the depth of color I wanted. In any case I think it's just the right balance -- it looks like most kids books in the stores. As for the writing, this book is smart, funny, never talking down to kids but appealing to the very things they love; imagination, whimsey, and constant entertainment.
Next up for me are some possible musical projects (including a new pop single I wrote on a fishing boat off the Malibu Pier last month.) I still plan to release several of my novels through CreateSpace, likewise the Eva James Band Live DVD (which could be the next official release from Fletcher Rhoden.com) and a few other things I hope to get in by the end of the year. There is also a possibility that I may return to theater directing, working with my LAST TANGO WITH MARLON star Frank Cavestani, who played Marlon Brando. I have also appeared recently with my TANGO star Raf (Wally Cox) Mauro in his for-kids improv show THE MAGIC MIRROR. We hope to continue that, but have no plans to do so until early 2010.
In other news, I continue to work as a medical ghostwriter with Jeanell Suggs. We are also finishing a non-fiction book proposal which I'm sure we'll have done by the end of the summer. Add this to the stream of dvd rereleases, the graphic novel (THE REBELS OF OZ) and the two cds I put out early in the year, and 2009 is bound to go down as one of my hottest yet. And there could still be even more great news, putting the year way way over the top, but (like me) you'll just have to stay tuned and wait for the news to roll in.
Steady on,
FR
