'Rufus' contains seven beautiful full page colour illustrations and numerous vignettes throughout the text created by Swedish illustrator Åsa Amble Rasmussen.
The manuscript was wonderfully translated into Norwegian by Arne Ruste. Arne has also translated works by Lewis Carroll, Julia Donaldson and Roald Dahl to name but three.
1550 Copies of 'Rufus' have been sold to the Norwegian Arts Council (Kulturåd) for distribution to libraries, charities and other concerns in Norway.
'Rufus' is available in Norway and only in Norwegian at present. The original English manuscript is now, however, being marketed in Britain and the U.S.A.

Brisingamen
A book based multimedia project I am currently working on together with talented 3d artist and animator Peter Spence and his company Electric Putty
Although the details are very secret at present, I can tell you that this will be a totally new genre of book that will interact with the reader's real life and imagination in a way never before seen in standard literature.
In Scandinavian mythology the Brisingamen was a fabulous necklace forged by the 'Brisings', four dwarfs whose supernatural prowess for fashioning wondrous objects was matched only by their hideous appearance. It symbolizes worldly desire and the price one must pay for the ultimate possession.

By Dr Angus McNasty
WARNING!!! - Under no circumstance should you let your child get hold of a copy of this book.
If they do however....
1. Keep a list of emergency service numbers handy, together with a bucket of sand and one large de-frosted halibut.
2. E-mail the author and find out that he has emigrated to Paraguay.
3. Hide all the hamsters and small pets in the immediate vicinity.
4. Start to panic a little bit... just to get used to it.
Previously thought to be only a legend the 'naughtycomicon' or ' book of the Fred' has been whispered about in hushed awe amongst schoolboys for decades.
This terrible tome was said to have been written
by Angus McNasty, the crazed son of a headmaster and the naughtiest boy in human history after going insane during his third year of perpetual detention after school.
Although generally thought not to actually exist, it had only been lost through time, finding it's way into the hands of some of the most disobedient and beastly boys down the ages as though possessed with an evil will of it's own.
Scratching through the maze of rubbish in his late Granddad's attic Headmeat and his barely human best friend Monkeybum discover a small box containing an aging book...
