On The table Read, “the best book magazine in the UK“, Gary Revel talks about children’s book, Hillary and Malibug Beach, and what inspired the story.
Written by JJ Barnes
I interviewed author Gary Revel about his life and career, what inspired him to start writing, and the story of new children’s book, Hillary And Malibug Beach.
Gary Revel, musician, author, publisher, film-maker, and former special investigator of the assassinations of JFK and MLK.
When I learned that my name and title as Special Investigator of the MLK assassination had been, contrary to my agreement with the US Government, printed and published in a book by the US Government, I realized I must write a memoir to set the record straight.
In the year of 2006.
I published the first edition in about 8 months but have continued to edit it until the last edition was published about a year ago.
A few weeks.
I have taken my family to Malibu Beach in California many times and I wanted to use it as a setting for The Adventures of Hillary the Little Ladybug, thus the name of the book, Malibug Beach, or Hillary and Malibug Beach.
William Dandurand is a co-writer and illustrator. Using the Mixed Media illustration process is the most time consuming and challenging part of the process of writing and publishing a book like Hillary and Malibug Beach
Elisabeth Revel and William Dandurand used popular culture and a slightly ‘New Age’ presentation creating the protagonist.
The inspiration of Hillary the Little Ladybug came as I was on the phone with William Dandurand and a ladybug flew into the window and landed near him. We had been talking about writing a book. It came to us that Hillary the Little Ladybug would be a good concept for a children’s book. We contacted another Jongleur Books author, Mary Cohen, she loved the idea and the rest is history.
Malibug Beach locals, and oh yea, the exploding comet causes some problems as well.
Some of it was plotted before we started and some was by the seat of our pants.
Mary Cohen and Elisabeth Revel did the editing.
Write, writers write, remember that.
We are working on many books right now, the next Hillary book may be Hillary and Ogres.
Yes, I am very proud of our writing and publishing efforts. Everyone involved is very proud of everything they did. We are also busy developing the Hillary stories into an animated series.
