I'm being stalked...Quack!

A little while ago, I came up with an idea for a new book. It's based on the ugly duckling fairy tale. It seemed harmless enough at the time. Little did I know...

Over the last few months, every time I turn around, there's a duck. Seriously. Every time I turn on the TV, open a news paper, read a forward or step out of the house, there's a duck lurking around somewhere! It's getting crazy.

Here are a few that have cropped up... (apologies in advance for my slightly dodgy photograhic ability)

China ducks:

Fluffy ducklings:



Clumsey ducklings:



Punk ducks:



Silver ducks and swans:







Duck mugs and egg cups:





Even book mark ducks!



And my favouorite of all - this one was a present from my parents to celebrate the book coming out tomorrow. It's made from a duck egg:



And when you open the duck egg you find...



The photos really don't do it justice!



So yeah, I'm being stalked. All things considered I guess it could be a lot worse, lol.

If you want to know more about the book and the characters who started all this trouble. There's an excerpt here.
