Character Study

The first time I put pen to paper, in regards to this book called "Chocolate Tales" was back in April 2012.  I drew a few pictures here and there of what I thought the area, of what is now called Chew York in the story, would look like.  I came across a stump in the road when it came to character design though.
I had drawn backgrounds, drawn foliage of the areas in Chew York. I'd even plotted the initial story to what now is Book 1 of the series.  But.....no main character, no main villain.
It was only months later, after I had re-visited the story when I was at my day job,that I began doodling again.  My love of the culinary arts and drawing were combined and I drew a character sketch of a character that would soon become known as "Chef Chewy."

Welcome

Hello everybody, the name's William Bettner; welcome to my blog.  This will be a blogspot all about the titles that I've created or are in the process of creating.  The first of a 7 book series called Chocolate Tales is out now for the Amazon Kindle.  Here's the link:  http://www.amazon.com/Chocolate-Tales-Chewy-Mintys-ebook/dp/B00E3F1OA8/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1374846832&sr=1-1&keywords=chocolate+tales.  I hope you and your children will enjoy the book.  I'm feverishly working on the second book now and expect it to be released later this year.
