New writer

I am doing my best to help a new writer get published. We met last night so that I could read through his latest chapters. His name is Chris Monroe, he's a dad with two young children and he writes quirky children's books with exactly the right touch where language and humour are concerned. He is also an amateur ventriloquist and has sent me links to one of his stories which he published on the web, and his act on YouTube.

The story is called When a Fate Fish Winks:

He is planning to write a full-length Young Adult book about these characters, who are both centaurs. Note: this story is very different to his funny books for younger readers.

Here's the YouTube Link.

I always think if you're a ventriloquist, it helps to have a beard!
