The Bookhouse – Broughty Ferry Stockist

Richard2022-01-18T15:02:11+00:00

Just a few miles away from me, I have sourced a new stockist in a local book store in Broughty Ferry. The BookHouse is a family run independent book store, and they have agreed to take stock of Caterpillars CANNOT FLY! which is great.  I have been rather quiet over...

What I used to create Caterpillars CANNOT FLY!

Richard2022-01-04T10:47:56+00:00

There are loads of options if you decide to do any kind of illustrating, or book creation.  However, I stumbled upon my tools all thanks to my daughter.  She bought herself a Samsung S7 with birthday and Christmas money when she was 11 and installed all manner of games...

Next book sneaky peak

Richard2021-12-28T20:12:05+00:00

Today I started illustrating my next book, all about the frog from Caterpillars CANNOT FLY! and his story.  I'm hoping to publish this book mid to late 2022, but I'm also working on another book that I'm hoping to publish early to mid 2022.

Strangers on a Train

Richard2021-11-11T20:18:24+00:00

Yesterday I had to travel from Carnoustie to Elgin via train to collect my repaired (not actually repaired it turns out) van. In my carriage I was lucky to meet some passengers, with children and grand children.  I decided before leaving for the train to take some copies of Caterpillars...

Stockists Page

Richard2021-10-24T14:32:56+00:00

My Journey

Richard Watterson Author & IllustratorI started writing my first book in 2019, I was on a 6 hour drive and the idea just came into my head.  When driving I was lucky enough to have a few hours of peace and quiet (no music... through choice!), just the drone of the tyres on the road and the occasional squeak here and there.  Twice a week my work takes me on a 6 hour round trip so once the idea was in my head I couldn't stop thinking about it.  Having a phone handy meant I could take notes during stop breaks and over the next 6 months the story came together.  It took me around 18 months from initial idea, to print.  Read more here.
