The Adventures of the Karillapig
Have you ever wondered who lives on the dark side of the Moon?
Well wonder no more as you are introduced to the one and only Karillapig.
The Karillapig lives on the dark side of the Moon and is here on Earth to
1) Investigate our strange Earthly ways, and
2) Find out how exactly Earth beings achieved space travel.
In his quest to find out how Earth beings achieved said space travel, the Karillapig causes chaos and mayhem as he mistakes several everyday objects for spaceships and wreaks havoc in the residence of Derek and Doreen Bumblebottom.
The Karillapig has snuck down to Earth behind the back of the evil, not-to-be-trusted Kired, leader of A.R.S.C—the Moon union. Kired, along with several other Moon critters, have been in the same meeting about a meeting for over 50 years, and so have not noticed the Karillapig’s absence from the Moon.
The Karillapig is not alone on Earth. Other Moon critters have followed him… This can only mean one thing; double chaos and mayhem as Earthly investigations continue…

The Aftermath
After a decade of graduate studies in the US, he returned to a homeland transformed—not for the better. The once pristine landscapes were now marred by environmental degradation and polluted waterways. With water becoming a scarce resource, the rural communities who depended heavily on fuelwood stood at a precarious juncture. Urban centers, once bustling with life, now languished in squalor. More disturbingly, he observed a pollution of the mind: those who should have been stewards of the earth were either indifferent or alarmingly unaware. They failed to see the broader implications of their actions. Determined to make a difference, he began advocating for the earth’s restoration, emphasizing its vital significance. After all, the earth is our shared home, and neglecting it risks the future of us all.

The Arrival of Jessica BunnyDuck
One day, Mummy Duck is returning from the shops when she finds an abandoned baby under an oak tree. Who is this baby, and what will the Duck family do to help her? Read on to find out...
The story behind Jessica BunnyDuck is simple: it is OK to be different. The origins of the story go back over 30 years, when the author was working with Cher and had begun to learn about the Craniofacial Children Association (CCA) which Cher had been actively working on since starring in the film Mask in 1985. When he met the children supported by the CCA during a retreat in Texas, he was in awe at how they supported each other without question and how open and honest they were with each other. This is when he came up with the idea of Jessica BunnyDuck.
‘Much like children with craniofacial conditions, Jessica BunnyDuck deals with being different and finding a place in which to belong.’

The Art of Sales
I consider the art of sales to be a chess game well-thought, strategically planned and played carefully. One needs to know the rules of the game and the ethics. It is not only a matter of how well you know the game or play it but also a matter of human psychology, soul, character (which includes the elements of patience), fear, insights, instincts and correct observation without being hasty or careless which will help you prevail. It is a matter of how we behave when we are under pressure, when we are surprised and when we realise that we are not going to win. Can we control our nerves? Can we take it easy? Can we look for a different plan and adapt quickly when things go wrong? This is an art and it is more important than the knowledge. It comes with experience. The more you play, the more you are in control. The Art of Sales is based on exactly the same thinking. Play safely.
