Caught Jester Books is the trading identity of me, Mike Riddle, Naracoorte based scribbler, writer and independent book publisher.
It's time to abbreviate this introduction, so ...
July 2006: large squamous cell carcinoma (skin cancer) excised from right cheek. August to October 2006: chemotherapy and radiotherapy. July 2007: cancer beaten: post-traumatic dystonia begins. March 2008: resignation from teaching. March 2012 dystonia still advancing.
March 2012, first birthday done and dusted, Caught Jester Books, in royal colours of purple and gold, is still moving forward. December 2010, "Uncle Chuck is my Hero!” was produced as a gift. Journalist Bricey be strong!

To come in 2012:
Wonderfully Imbecile (March)
"Uncertain Lives”, the story of the Mills family of Blacksmiths (Newcastle). Leanna (17) and Bethany (15) Mills have suffered from the immensely cruel, at times life threatening, primary dystonia since their infancy. Currently they are kept alive and able to ambulate partially by DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation) but waiting to travel to France their condition is deteriorating.
"Animaulia", poetry in which insects, crustaceans, lizards and birds come to a sticky end. Illustrated by Mandy Foot.
Importantly, "The Kanceroo” designed to help children with cancer discuss issues and feelings with their parents, will be published in November. Again, illustrated by the immensely talented super-mum, Mandy Foot.
Whichever book you come across I hope you enjoy the reading as much as I've enjoyed the writing! |
