We’ve been busy working on things for the past few weeks, and now’s the time to spill the beans about it. It’s a couple of projects that will go under the collective banner of Doodle of the Week, related to our past lives as kids’ science authors. While we work on the main event for the site, we’ve decided to serve up an appetizer: our 1993 out-of-print book Born Smart?—all 113 pages of it—will be posted on the site. It’s digitally remastered—scanned, cleaned-up and coloured—and content updated where it needs to be. Courtesy of our French publisher, we’re posting it in French, too. And it will take a while to do, so we’ll post about two pages a week.
And there’s something more exciting coming to the site too; we can’t talk about it just yet.
We’re looking forward to this. The freelance lifestyle can be terribly reactive: after all, you’re job is to respond to the client’s needs, or their arbitrary wants. Sometimes that can leave one a little cynical. Both of us feel great getting back to this kind of work.
It will take time to get this into full swing, and it will be entirely in our spare time until we can figure out how (or if) it can generate income.
In the meantime, don’t spread the word just yet. We’ll let you know when things are about to get interesting on the site. Stay tuned.

Oooooo! Sounds exciting. You may remember, Ronnie loves your books. In fact, I think he pulled one of the “Did you know” books out again this past weekend. Can’t wait to see the upcoming secret part!
