Michelle Graham is the mind behind the Karillapig stories, and she is currently working on the third book in the series with Illustrator Mark Rowe.
Over the past few years, Michelle and Mark have created humorous stories, blogs, and articles for popular satire sites, and have taken part in national initiatives to promote creative arts.
Home for Michelle is on the Yorkshire/Lancashire border where she lives with her two cats – or as Michelle puts it: “They let me live with them…”, while Mark lives in the Manchester area, but mainly on his allotment where he lovingly tends his giant brassicas!
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…
Do you ever find yourself looking up at the night sky and asking, ‘who lives on the dark side of the Moon?’
Well, it’s a fair question, is it not? It’s certainly up there with other such burning questions, such as, ‘If you can tune a piano, why can’t you tuna fish?’
The Tremendous Travels and Intergalactic Misgivings of the Karillapig continue on from The Adventures of the Karillapig where we follow our intrepid Moon hero, the Karillapig, who is from the dark side of the Moon, as he embarks on a series of calamitous investigations in an attempt to establish how us earth beings achieved space travel.
Incidentally, in case you were wondering – and I’m sure you were – The dark side of the Moon is inhabited by many different Moon Critters; Moon Critters come in all shapes and sizes and include favourites such as ‘The Hippobuffafrog,’ ‘The Evil Flapperbiller,’ and ‘Moofus McRadling.’ For years now, Moon Critters have puzzled over a burning question: ‘How did Earth beings achieve space travel?’ Hence the Karillapig’s investigations…
The Karillapig isn’t alone. Not at all – you may be surprised to learn that there are at least three Moon Critters currently here on Earth – as may The Bumblebottoms, whose garden (to be more precise, a discarded washing up bowl at the bottom of the Bumblebottoms’ garden) is home to our Moon Critters whilst here on Earth.
One thing is for sure – where the Karillapig is, you will find chaos, havoc, and general tomfoolery…
