I am the author of the exciting Vroom-Town series of children’s books. Vroom-Town is a wonderful place where all types of trucks, live, work and have exciting adventures! The inspiration for the series came from my ‘day-job’ as Marketing Manager of a Scania Truck Dealer – there were no books about trucks in existence so I decided I would write some! I have to date printed and published 6 books (two of which also have ‘as Gaeilge’ versions).
In the midst of the chaos, I launched a new book! (the SIXTH in the series) for World Book Day back in March – two days before a global pandemic (which I wouldn’t recommend as a marketing strategy!). This was the book that should have brought Vroom-Town to a global level as I had approached Scania (one of the largest truck manufacturers in the world, headquartered in Sweden) last summer to see if I could include a Scania truck in my books – they loved the idea and so Vabis was created. The thinking behind the idea is developing Scania fans at grass roots level so that as adults they would work with, supply or become customers of Scania! There is no other truck/car company with this unique approach. I called the truck Vabis as a nod to Scania as the company used to be called Scania-Vabis. The amazing thing about the book is that it is also a Scania Official Licensed Product! Which is a huge achievement and it is the only Irish Scania Official Licensed Product! They don’t support financially sadly, but it is a massive opportunity to have the use of the logo. Anyway, unfortunately like many businesses, the global success was not meant to be….. this year! So tough.
Also, in 2016, ‘The Adventure of Tim the Tipper in Quentin’s Quarry’ (which featured on RTE’s Nationwide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIz9r50ZPR4 ) won FIRST PLACE in the Children’s Picture Book Category for the Writer’s Digest Self Published Book Awards in the USA!!!! It is genuinely very prestigious and it was also a very competitive category (that of picture books) – never mind up against authors from USA and other countries!! So for an Irish author to win this category, is a great achievement.
I launched a Christmas book last year “The Adventure of Santa Claus and the Magic Truck Dust” – where Santa Claus discovers that his sleigh is broken (I think Terrible Terry may have had something to do with it!) and he asks his friends in Vroom-Town to help him deliver the presents to all of the children in the world! I wonder will it all work out ok…?
The Vroom-Town books would of course make great Christmas pressies for girls and boys aged 2-7 years! #GiveTheGiftOfReading
