Happy Christmas and THANK YOU!

I am filled with Christmas cheer as I display my festive nails (as painted by my daughter Fay) and fetching elf hat to wish you all a good one!
A huge THANK YOU goes out to everyone who has supported the publication of my debut, Jarred Dreams in 2016 and the launch of my professional life as a Children's Author.
Without the support of you all, coming to the book launch, particpating so enthusiastically in school and library visits, buying and sharing my book, promoting me through social media, reviewing the book both online and telling people abut me, then this year would've been a flop. Instead I am filled with vigour and will be publishing book two, (EATS) next year.
Wishing you all a Happy Christmas and I'll be back in the New Year!

Serial Mash

16/12/2016

I have some exciting news that I can now share on my blog. I have been commissioned by 2Simple to write books for Serial Mash. 

Serial Mash is an online package for schools to enable them to use books to help teach aspects of the curriculum. I will be writing for 9-11 year olds and have already got the outline for my first story which will hopefully be available to the schools signed up to Serial Mash in the Summer term, 2017.

If you'd like to find out more about this, or are interested in Serial Mash for your own school, click on the link: Serial Mash.

Competition Update

I am going to be doing a number of school visits during the week of World Book Day (THURSDAY 2 MARCH 2017). Because of this I want to extend my competition deadline to give as many children as possible the chance to enter.

The deadline is now SATURDAY 1 APRIL 2017. That gives you loads of time to think of some great names.

Remember it is free to enter, but you do need to have parental persmission so that I can contact you.

Find out more by visiting my competition page.

Bookworms are Genetic

Take a look at my daughter, Sasha, gobbling up the Helen Moss books. I got four out of the library yesterday and she has already read two of them! Page turners, obviously. Sasha is a chip off the old block, as they say. Not sure I like that expression much. Am I an old block? Rhetorical.
