Miller tells the tale of a 19th century English family whose twin children, Sammy and Thomas, are pressedto embark on a flight of terror in fear of a sinister man named Skeats. Skeats pursues the family from the foggy streets of London to the back alleys of Paris and back, thankfully, always under the ever-watchful eyes of a powerful and mysterious ghost dog named Bobby.
Dedicated to Miller’s daughter, the real-life Sammy. The story was brought to life late one weekend in Amsterdam during a violent thunderstorm as Miller hid under a old worn out bed with his daughter Sammy.
After many years in advertising, he decided to pursue other ventures, including spending more time with his family and something he’d always dreamed of doing—writing a book for his daughters.
He wanted the book to be a keepsake and to teach his children about valuable life lessons—good versus evil, conviction and the power of imagination.
Boiler enlisted the help of 72andSunny designers, artists and strategists, and “The Ghost of Bobby” was published in 2007.
“We definitely learned some of the ins and outs of the publishing industry along the way, but we have a ton more to learn,” said Miller. All we wanted was to get our story out there, and have the characters come alive in people’s imaginations.”
Miller’s upbringing contributed ample creative fodder for “The Ghost of Bobby.” Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Miller left school at 16, and spent his teen years tending bar and working the night shift at a psychiatric facility, before talking his way into a job in advertising at the age of 17.
“The Ghost of Bobby” was designed by Christina Kelly, illustrated by Julia Kuo and published by 72andSunny Publishing.
The embossed hardbound book targets readers ages 7 and up, and features Julia's beautiful water color illustrations that complement the moody, action-packed story.
72andSunny also designed the marketing collateral for the book, including retail posters and displays, the official book website, and an animated short promotional film viewable online at his website; the ghost of bobby, Youtube and Myspace.
