Hello everybody I’m Harold Skeletor, relaxing in my garden reading my favorite book of monsters written by my good friend Professor Tiberius Q. Edelgeezer. I just love this time of year hanging out with the dead plants and weeds, while boning up on my monsters! The ole professor really did a great job researching and writing a field guide of monsters, with a monster for every letter in the alphabet! He was really lucky in getting that great human artist and illustrator, Kate Buss, to draw and paint a picture of each monster. She provides great detail in the style of other famous artists! The pictures really capture the essence of each monster.

Some of my favorite monsters are;

The Carnivorous Kanoosh – Boy, you got be careful with this monster, one minute you are taking a nap on this comfy coach and the next you are being swallowed up!

Professor Edelgeezer – The ole professor, even includes himself in his own book. Kate Buss did a great job painting his portrait, relaxing at home with a picture of his mom looking over him.

ItsyMitsy – A picture of a giant spider playing an accordion just using tiny ink dots, definitely one of a kind.

Kevin – This picture of my nephew is just great! Kate really captures how creepy my nephew is.

Scuttleblub – I thought I stepped into a Grandma Moses picture with the Scuttleblub.

Xraysaurus – No telling what an Xraysaurus likes to eat, unless you look at his stomach. Who knew he liked skateboards!

Hello Everyone! Ice Cream Fine Storybooks would like to apologize to everyone for not posting for the last 8 months. Shortly after our last post Kate Buss (The author & Illustrator of our books) gave birth to her second daughter Scarlett and with her first daughter Bronwyn just being 18 months old things have been a little crazy these past few months. Despite all the upheaval in family life, Ice Cream Fine Storybooks did manage to publish our fifth book created by Kate. This book is the second of what we hope will become a series of books about ‘The Horners’ a family of everyday unicorns living in an old barn on the edge of town.

Our new book is titled: ‘The Horners, Big Brother’s Birthday Surprise’. It is about big brother’s birthday party and getting a birthday present he is not expecting.

Big Brother Horner is going to have a birthday party! However, he has not been too nice to his sister lately. Sister would love to see her favorite ice skater in her ice show 'The Cow Princess on Ice'. Find out what happens when big sister hatches a plan to see 'The Cow Princess on Ice' and gets her revenge in 'Big Brother's Birthday Surprise'.

This book is available as a paperback for $18.95 on our online store at: www.icecreampublishing.com or on our new Etsy store at: https://icecreamstorybooks.etsy.com and on Amazon. The ebook version is available for the Amazon Kindle, the Apple iPhone and tablets and all Android phones and tablets at just $4.99. Just click on the link and it in turn will point you to where you can buy the eBook version, https://geni.us/TheHornersBrothersBday .

We are also offering 10% off both Horners’ books with free shipping when you purchase them as one of our book bundle specials.

Stay tuned as will be posting more frequently as we have a lot of news to catch up with you on, such as our new Etsy store, pricing discounts with our book bundles specials and new low pricing for our eBooks.

Hope to hear from all of you soon.

Happy New Year to Everyone! Ice Cream Fine Storybooks would like to thank all the people who purchased one or more of our books this past Holiday Season. We hope you and your loved ones are enjoying reading our books as much as we enjoyed creating and publishing them for you.

We at Ice Cream Fine Storybooks are very excited about the new year and all the projects we are working on this year.

The first item on our list is, we will be publishing this spring our fifth book and the second book in our series about the Horner’s the everyday family of unicorns. This upcoming book is tentatively titled ‘The Horner’s, Brother’s Birthday Surprise’. Without giving too much away big brother Horner gets a surprise present on his birthday that he wasn’t expecting and gets a lesson in dealing with disappointment.

Next, we will be working on and providing new sales channels, so our books are available to potential customers besides Amazon and through our web site. In addition, we will be working on providing ways for you to save money on book purchases so your hard-earned dollars will go farther purchasing our books.
We also have a sixth book we hope we will be able to publish much later this year. This will be our first book having a different author than Kate Buss, but still have her beautiful illustrations. If this book does get published it will not be until the late summer or fall. Either way we will keep you to date on our progress on getting this book published.

Finally, the biggest event for Ice Cream Fine Storybooks this year will be early this spring when Kate’s second child is born. This will be an exciting addition to Kate’s family, and we are all looking forward to welcoming a new child into the world.

Feel free to follow us as we will be posting often to bring you news about Ice Cream Fine Storybooks and our upcoming books.

Chicago Printers Row Lit Fest – 9/16/23

Last weekend (9/9 - 9/10) Ice Cream Fine Storybooks participated with our publishing partner Long Overdue Books at the Chicago Printers Row Lit Fest held in the South Loop area of Chicago. Long Overdue Books has worked with us in getting our books designed and formatted before we created our eBook and printed the paperback versions of our books with their awesome graphic designer Annie Leue. In addition to helping us with book design and layout they also sell our books. So, when Long Overdue Books asked us to represent our books at the Printers Row Lit fest we were happy to accept their offer.

The Printers Row Lit Fest is an annual 2-day free literary festival that has been held annually for over 30 years. So, for people who love to read books, meet independent authors and publishers like yours truly it is a great event to go to. From our perspective it was a great opportunity to introduce people to our small but growing catalog of children’s books but also to interact with people and get their comments and thoughts on our books. Interacting with all sorts of people come to our table look and browse our books and get their reactions is something that just can’t be replicated on social media.

Some of the things we noticed from people who stopped by and browsed our books was that ‘The Book of Monsters from A to Z by Professor Edelgeezer’, really caught their eye. The book cover created by Annie Lueue for the Book of Monsters is very eye catching and to date has been our best seller. I think it is partially because of the cover, although all our other book covers are outstanding as well. I am personally fond of our cover for ‘Little Green Frond’. The other thing that people commented on was how impressed they were that Kate Buss was not only the author of all 4 books but the illustrator of the books as well. There are very few people out there that author and illustrate their own books, so we are lucky to have such a gifted person write and create our books!
