Wow! It’s just two weeks since the launch of my YouTube channel Gail Clarke Author and I already have over one hundred subscribers. Not only that, but there have also been more than fifteen hundred views of my videos as well.

A big Thank You! to everyone who has subscribed so far. Patrick the African Grey Parrot sends you all a big virtual hug.

Very soon I’ll have a personalised URL for the channel, rather than a load of numbers and letters, which will be much easier to remember.

I have had some great feedback from parents whose children have loved watching the videos, which is wonderful, thank you.

Patrick is delighted too, especially now that his own story, Patrick’s Birthday Message, is on the channel. However, as usual, Patrick wants more. He has insisted that I make a special reading of his story for pre-schoolers. I’m on it right now and it will be up very soon.

There will also be videos of my other stories appearing soon, including the two stories I wrote for the Shark Guardian charity. So keep tuning in to see what’s new.

Following on from yesterday’s post, this is just to remind you that the ebook versions of seven of my books are currently free to download from Amazon. The time frame is limited — the offer ends at midnight tomorrow, Sunday April 26 (that’s US west-coast time so for some of you the offer goes on into Monday)

So don’t delay, head over to your Amazon account right now and start downloading.

The books look best in colour on a screen — tablet, phone or computer with the free Kindle Reader App.

Enjoy!

As you can see, there’s an introduction from me and videos of presentations of my books, similar to the ones you might have seen on one of my school visits.

One reason I wanted to make my presentations available to as many children as possible is that so many children around the world, as well as adults, are having to spend most of their time at home. Which means they are looking for things to do.

So Patrick and I got together with Chameleon, Cosmos and all the other animals and we decided that YouTube was the way we could help.

The great thing about YouTube is that you can watch it on a phone, a tablet, a computer and even on a television. And you can watch the videos as many times as you like.

I really hope you enjoy the videos and that you will join me on my channel. Once I have made videos of all my own stories, maybe I’ll read some other stories too. So keep checking on the channel to see what’s new.

Bye for now and
