Red Rabbit Rises Publishing

03/02/2025

Hello out there,

Genuinely still feeling my way on this social media stuff. Don't know what's too much info, particularly when all advice says "feed the algorithm" much more than I'm generally comfortable with.

For over a month have been trying to impart on Amazon my concern over major issue that's delaying really enjoyable novel (and first novel to publish) Desultamar.
I'm getting more anxious to engage, they seem very chill over timeframes, and chill to the point of horizontal re communication...

So what to do...
Start getting the kid's books onto the Amazon platform! Out of order progress is still progress!

The first cab off the rank will now have a competitor! Hopefully soon to announce going live for "A Day Out with Great Granddad."

More soon, but for now, an alluring front cover. Throw your money this way soon, but not quite yet! :-D

Hello good people,

I've been fighting for over 2 weeks to submit a copyright infringement notice to KDP.
They were diligent, responsive, caring, and unfortunately incredibly studious at avoiding taking responsibility, always deferring to another team, or their template form, which didn't work.
Today finally it did work! So I went from frustration to overcoming a roadblock. One step in maybe a few, but so happy with this :-D

To tie it to the book, the characters overcome worse in their journey. And in a more interesting way :-)
Hopefully I'll be marketing to y'all soon enough!

Hope you're day had a breakthrough moment in it also!

Hello and happy new year all,

In September I wrote that new title Desultamar was being published imminently. The plan was for Christmas sales, which would have been great, the natural high point in the year to target
However (to cut through lengthy detail) did a test print, and Amazon delivered older, inferior harder to read versions, and I simply do not know why.
Am on a journey to find out, but for now still finding an Amazon KDP team willing to take responsibility to look at the issue. Pinning them down slowly, though...

Tom has genuinely written a great book, first of 3, and want to share it asap. Hopefully more soon!
Kind regards,
Chris, Red Rabbit Rises

Soooo close to being able to say that new book, new author, new scope for Red Rabbit Rises where novels and adult reading starting to become available.

Not long, just a triple-check of proof copy. Hopefully be able to announce in early September still!

For a bit of a tease on this - as we start this process, a map showing the start of the journey in the book. Not the whole journey, not even in the book, but the start is a good place to begin :-)

One final stage to go for next publication.

This novel has been a long time in the making - more on that later, but each stage has made us earn levelling up to next stage.
Thinking about the nature of the story and the characters within, this retrospectively makes a bit of sense...

Once we have it in our hands in the next few days as a physical product and are happy with the quality, it'll be ready to go!

Last post, the front over.
This time, combined with the back for full effect, and blurb for story taster.

More soon (hopefully!)

Just waiting on revisions for the 2nd to last (or penultimate, for the pedantic) stage for the next publication.

For the next build up stage of hype, the cover!
With thanks to Kamila for style, design, formatting, patience, insight...

And author Tom for the intruguing, meaningful and potentially purchase inducing title!

More soon :-D

Hello all,

The next Red Rabbit Rises publication is the first change up here from children's books.

It is a fantasy novel, not written by me, but by an author, Tom Snook, in Adelaide. More details to come in next few weeks.

The aim is kid's books as the majority of the publications, but not to restrict myself in my own 'do it because I wanna' business. I had the chance to read the book to edit it, and loved it, and asked Tom about publishing it. And here we (almost) are :-D

Last bits getting sorted, with paperback then hardback. Hopefully do some sly coaxing marketing about it here soon :-)

Hello out there,

After quite a bit of time down the burrow, Red Rabbit Rises is starting to rise back out of hibernation!

After all, we are now in the Year of the Rabbit. If not now, when...?
:-)

Heya there good people,

After a hiatus, another this time incredibly gratuitous plug for good people doing good things.

This time, if you happen to be pregnant (or around it - read the details herein) and in the Scottish Highlands, and free this Sunday, this event tailored for you!

Are you pregnant and would like to meet other beautiful mothers-to-be?

Join the Positive Pregnancy Walk on Sunday the 17th at Findhorn!

Fiona Reilly is organising this wonderful event and I will join her for the first time 🤸‍♀️

We’ll have a gentle walk and time to chat. About daily life or about more specific topics regarding pregnancy and birth.

When you would like to come along, please send us a message!
We will welcome you with joy and happiness 💃

A big time Gratuitous Plug here! Select audience, but amazing option for that audience!

Pregnancy massage in Inverness, available soon and over the next few weeks.
Present for someone you know - that can include yourself :-D
See you here soon, Dancing Doula Lady!

Part 2 of 2 part post (bound to happen, put like that...)

This here is Gary and Ange, lovely people, who've written a lovely book, A Day Out With Great Granddad!

To keep the dual theme going, here they do two things:
- Explain the background behind the story, the influence and their personal connections to the story, the importance of childrne's sstories growing up, and how it connects to memory and place
- Offer a chance for a school (In Gippsland, Vic, Australia this time) to have "Win two authors!" A really interesting option, if of interest, check it out!

Thanks Ange and Gary, and hope some lucky school group gets a chance to have a great day out with them also :-D

Hello all,

This is a two-part post!

The first part:
Plockton Library in their continuing support of Book Week Scotland and also Red Rabbit Rises Publishing posted up this recording of the book A Day Out With Great Granddad.

Thanks to Plockton Library, Book Week, Gary and Ange as the writiers of this, the first book RRR has published by other authors, and Phoebe (https://www.phoeberoze.co.uk/) for amazing illustrations again.

So - this is the book being read - hope you like it. Personally love what Ange and Gary achieved with it :-D

Now, Part two...

21/11/2021

Book Week last week started for Red Rabbit Rises Publishing with Carina and Mychael at Plockton Library reading their Gaelic translation of Star Pyjamas, "An Deise-Leapa Reultach,"
and ended with this, the English language version.

The chance to have support language kids (& whoever else may want to learn...) be able to read and hear both versions alongside each other, something that brings a lot of joy here.

Thanks Plockton Library, Carina, Mychael, and Book Week! 😀

15/11/2021

This is, a big, good moment for Red Rabbit Rises Publishing.

Well - a few...
*more great support from Plockton Library and local libraries!
*a start to the week being in Gaelic, and getting to hear both Carina and Mychael being so good at it (well done, both!), and with that...
*seeing and hearing the first of hopefully a number of translations of books. It feels very real - feels great hearing it, thanks Highlife Highland Libraries, and also Book Week Scotland ☺️

Claire Maclean Illustration - check it out! Eileen Macdonald - hopefully more Gaelic speakers to blether with in years to come!

The whole Bookbugs video is really well done, however for those wanting to see the book reading, it starts at 9 min 30 seconds!

14/11/2021

Local public libraries - not just supporting kids and the general community, also giving opportunities to writers!

Huge thanks to Plockton Library, and Happy Book Week, everyone 😀

BOOKWEEK SCOTLAND 📚 is (almost) here with free books, themed bookmarks and postcards to give away 🎁 as well as Plockton Library's program on top of the varied general program posted recently.
Surely there is something for everyone! 🤩
