An author has turned to her beloved dog for inspiration for her latest book series.<\/p>\n
Rochelle Armstrong\u2019s new children\u2019s picture book, Adventures with Aggie: Aggie Goes to London, follows her Boston terrier, Aggie, as she explores iconic landmarks in the UK\u2019s capital, meets royalty and gets involved in \u2018mischievous activities\u2019.<\/p>\n
The series marks a major shift in Rochelle\u2019s writing, with her previous books focusing on identity and mental health.<\/p>\n
Adventures with Aggie launched on August 9. Picture: Rochelle Armstrong<\/p>\n
However, it went hand in hand with her love of, and background working with, children, she said.<\/p>\n
Rochelle, who lives near Bury St Edmunds, said: \u201cThe book allowed me to be creative, playful and get in contact with my inner child.<\/p>\n
\u201cAggie inspired the series. I got her when she needed rehoming and her journey going from quiet and shy to sassy and full of life is what encouraged me to start writing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Aggie Goes To London released on August 9.<\/p>\n
Rochelle has already written the next two books in the series, with plans to explore more British cities plus US states.<\/p>\n
She currently works as a counsellor and hosts a podcast called Mixedlings.<\/p>\n
Aggie Goes to London is now available on Amazon.<\/p>\n
Looking forward, Rochelle said: \u201cThere\u2019s a good deal coming, there are endless adventures for us to go.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter the UK and US, I might do Europe over the coming years as I plan and write the next set of novels.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An author has turned to her beloved dog for inspiration for her latest book series.
