A black-and-white portrait of Paul Ian Cross, a man with a shaved head, short beard, and clear-framed glasses, looking directly at the camera with a slight smile. He is set against a bold blue graphic background with curved shapes. At the top, large text reads: “Like most kids, I wanted to be an astronaut. As it’s unlikely I’ll ever go to space, I write stories set in space instead!”
Book 1 – Praxx and the Ringing Robot A bright, cartoon-style book cover set in space. A cheerful blue alien with big green eyes, white spots, and a wide smile (Praxx) floats beside a small grey robot with one large eye and an antenna (Zobott). Musical notes float around the robot, suggesting sound or ringing. They stand on a purple planet with stars in the background. The title “PRAXX AND THE RINGING ROBOT” appears in large white letters at the top, with the authors’ names, Paul Ian Cross and Andy Green, at the bottom.
Book 2 – Praxx and the Lost Loonax A colourful, cartoon-style space scene with a purple sky and distant planets. In the foreground, a pink, fluffy alien creature with small horns and droopy eyes (the Loonax) sits among large green leaves. Praxx, the blue spotted alien, peeks from behind the leaves in the background. The title “PRAXX AND THE LOST LOONAX” is displayed in large white letters at the top, with the authors’ names, Paul Ian Cross and Andy Green, at the bottom.
Like most kids, I wanted to be an astronaut.
As it’s unlikely I’ll ever go to space, I write stories set in space instead!
