It’s been a while since I last published something, but now I’m very, very pleased indeed to announce my latest release: Everyone Hates This Restaurant is an illustrated children’s book inspired by my daughter’s love of desserts — to the point where we jokingly refer to her as our little dessertarian:
Mom, can we go to my favorite place?
I’m hungry and thirsty and it’s getting late.But everyone hates this restaurant, dear!
The mere thought of going there fills me with fear.
So, why does a hungry little girl insist on only ever eating at the world’s worst restaurant?
If you can’t wait to find out, as a special gift to my blog readers, you can read the book in PDF format here. If you enjoy it, please consider buying the print version as well. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it!
Many congrats on your new release. It looks like all sorts of fun:)
Thank you so much, Sandra! It was a lot of fun writing it 🙂
Sounds wonderful, Nicholas! Congratulations on your new book baby! Shared.
Thank you so much, Sue!
Congratulations, Nicholas. This is a charmingly wonderful story. I enjoyed the graphics as well.
Thank you so much, Beem! I’m so glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Congratulations, Nicholas! The book is delightful. I love the graphic too! Thank you for allowing us to enjoy it!
Yay! Thank you so much, Joy 😀
What a charming book! I love the illustrations, and of course desserts are the only things that matter to a kid. You nailed it, Nicholas! Bravo!
Thank you so much, Noelle! I’m so glad you enjoyed it 😀
Congratulations, Nicholas. Before I download the spec, is it only a paperback on Amazon. Hardcopies are difficult for me.
PDF turned into spec 🤦♀️
I’m afraid it’s only available on paperback because of the format. That’s why I’m distributing it by pdf as well.
Terrific kid’s story, Nicholas. Thanks for sharing.
Yay! I’m so glad you enjoyed it, John 🙂
😊
Sounds adorable. I have a sweet tooth and my grandkids inherited it from me. Lucky for them, I make them their favorite cookies often. 🙂 Congrats on your new release!
Thank you so much! Natalie and I make mom make choc-chip cookies regularly 🙂
What an adorable book. Well done, Nicholas! Thanks for the PDF. I wrote a review on Goodreads and Amazon.ca. Is there anywhere else you would like me to leave a review?
That is so kind of you, Darlene, thank you!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Wonderful Nicholas and congratulations… I have two emails for you so have sent to them both about a spotlight… x
You’re a star; thank you so much, Sally 🙂
Congratulations on your new release Nicholas. I love the cover and the story premise. Sharing everywhere! 🙂
Thank you so much, Debbie – you’re a star 🙂
I also read the PDF. The pictures are amazing. I noticed no illustrator, did you create pics with AI? I will be happy to write a review for you too. 🙂
Yes, the illustrations were created with Midjourney. I learned a lot through this process, which I want to write up as a post. And yes, of course I’d love for you to review it! Thanks for offering 🙂
Beautiful illustrations. I will definitely write a review. 🙂
Congratulations, Nicholas, on the new release. And I love that it is based on your daughter’s obsession with desserts. 🙂 Can’t blame her. Desserts are yummy. I’m grabbing the pdf. Thank you!
Lol – she did get her sweet tooth from me, so I’m not judging 😀 Thank you, I hope you enjoy it!
How delightful to create a book for your dessertian, Nicholas. Congratulations. I still remember reading Runaway Smile to my grandson, and now he’s a big kid. I’m glad you’re still writing children’s books. I just bought a copy for my local library… but will read it myself first. 🙂
Congrats, Nicholas:) i love you wrote this with your daughter’s love of deserts in mind 🙂 Picking up my PDF, thank you.
Thank you so much! Yes, she and I do share a certain sweet tooth 🙂
Thank you so much, Diana – you’re a star!!!
Congratulations on your new release, Nicholas. My tablet refuses to let me read it, so I’ll have to wait till I get on my pc, but I’m sure it’s great.
Sadly there are no little ones in my family at the moment, but maybe one day…
Amen to that – and thank you. I hope you enjoy it when you do 🙂
My pleasure. It’s fun.
