Hi!

 

My name is Tony Stewart, I live in Brisbane, Australia, and I have created Short Fat Stubby Finger Stories in order to safeguard [and hopefully have published] the various stories and things that I have created and written over the past few years.

​

I had written a few (unpublished) songs, misc short stories, and children's stories over the years, but became a bit more serious about writing when I began to write poems (love - lost, unrequited and found) around 20 odd years ago.

​

When I realised that my poems, despite their genre, were in fact short stories, I began writing full length novels for adults and shorter ones for children.   And as a result of being unable to illustrate my books I came up with the idea for draw-it-yourself books.

​

Short Fat Stubby Finger Publications came about when I retired a few years ago,   At that stage I had been considering self publishing (e-books and Print-on Demand), however it soon transpired that it was far too time consuming and costly to become a small business these days, and it also proved to be very distracting from the writing side of things.   Once I had decided not to go into business I simply changed the web and blog names to Short Fat Stubby Finger Stories which better suits my current position as a writer, not a publisher.

​

However, that being said, I am currently over mid-way through editing 'The Night of the Darkness', which I hope will attract a publisher or an agent (or both).   'The Night of the Darkness' is the first in a three-to-four part series which I have been progressively blogging in serial form as each chapter is re-edited.    Mind you, the re-editing has resulted in almost twenty new chapters being added to the story which is why it is taking me so long to finish it. 

​

The blog has been created to hopefully generate an interest in the book, but as the editing is nearing completion I intend to progressively delete the blog.   And if I have been unsuccessful in attracting the attention of a publisher or an agent by that stage I intend to go ahead and publish it as an e-book via amazon or their ilk.    The same applies to the other books and things that I have created including the board game I have created for the series*.

​

*I have also begun creating a board game based on this book which I can sell through various sources at a moderate price.
