Hello
Books are great. More than a distraction or a time filler, they are doorways into worlds of imagination. An important part of anyone's life. Books can teach and give so much. Understanding, empathy, escapism, insight, adventure, new learning and much, much more. They can be a thrilling and exciting ride through worlds familiar and new and introduce the reader to our rich and wonderful language
My Story
After working for my BEd Hons degree at university, I went into teaching for thirty years. I'd always been interested in writing, and throughout my life, I'd started writing several books but never got far with them. There was always some excuse to find something else to do! In 2010, I thought I'd better sit down and have another go. This time, stick with it until the end and actually write a book. Could I concentrate for that long? Did I have enough in my head to fill a book? Well, one hundred and forty thousand words later it turned out I could and I had! While I was still working I found time to write two more books.
Then I retired early whoohoo!
This meant I could spend more time writing and in the eight years since, I written another ten books. The Book of Talents Series, The Book of Talents Prequels, Folk Tales of Koa and Jam by the Stairs (all available at AMAZON, by the way) and now I've started on a new series of books after a friend suggested I might have a go at writing children's fantasy. So, here we are, The Hood, The Witch and The Zombie.

I'm always interested in what my readers think of my books and their characters.
