Addison's Tales

Welcome to my animated musical storyworld with ebooks, audio books, music and apps. I hope you like it! Let me know what you think and I'll try to comment back. You can pick up the full versions of the stories here:

Just so you know what you're in for, my stories are all speculative fiction (high fantasy), with all the cool stuff that make stories like the Hobbit, Fantastic Mr Fox, Charlotte's Web, Wind in the Willows, Warrior Cats and the Chronicles of Narnia such fun. So they are written for readers who like the kind of tales where animals talk, fairies wage battles, gnomes drive submarines and dreams can be bought and sold at low, low prices. The main thing is that they are packed full of fun, adventure and a special something that I call the 'golden star', which sits at the heart of the Addison's Tales logo, on the spine of the paperbacks, in the corner of the app icons, and, in some way or another, as an element in nearly all of the stories themselves. You'll just have to read them to discover what the star element could be.

Because some of my characters sing during the stories, just like they did in LOTR, I have recorded their songs with some professional musicians. I then turn them into cartoons you can watch on youtube. This way readers can hear and even see the songs from the stories. Best yet, you can get the sheet music for free at MuseScore - the music platform:

I put Addison's Tales on indiegogo in October 2014 and it was then nominated for the Berlin Crowdfunding Prize. In 2015, I would like to invite you to explore what I have spent the past years creating.  For a full picture of what I am hoping to build over the long term, check out the indiegogo vid (where you'll also get to 'meet' me):
