By the way, I have had three new picture books accepted by Scholastic. I am so pleased! One is about a delightful duck called Dick, the second is about a quarrel between two frogs on a rock and the last is about a little lost dinosaur. They won’t be coming out until 2022. I’m looking […]

Hi everyone!   It’s been a while since I blogged. I’ve been busy doing boring jobs around the house and reading a lot. Being locked down is not much fun in winter. I’m writing another story about Pongwiffy, because I like escaping to her crazy world from time to time. Reading and writing is my […]

Hello, everyone! What a funny old world it is with this horrible virus spoiling life for everybody. I have been doing loads of reading, and I hope you have too. I’ve also been writing quite a bit, and am very pleased as I have had three new picture book stories accepted. They won’t be coming […]

Hello everybody, Hope you’ve had a great Book Week. I did. I went to two lovely schools. The first one was Dwight Lower School in London, and the second was Beaudesert School in Leighton Buzzard. I had huge fun in both of them – the teaches and children were so welcoming. The second school was […]

Hi everyone!   My last book in the Elsie Pickles series is now out! It’s called Witch In Winter and is number four in the series. I have put a cardboard box in my office, right near the cat flap. Heathcliff and Jeremy both love it and argue about who is going to use it. […]

Hello anyone out there,   It’s me again, blogging away! In London, it’s been hot, hot, hot! Heathcliff and Jeremy are fed up with it now – they spend all day zonked out on armchairs or under bushes. Most of the time I feel like joining them – but we have made ourselves go for […]

This is me writing my first ever blog! I wonder if anyone will read it? I shall keep it brief as it’s my first go at this.  The good news is that I have finished Book 4 of my four book Witch series, about Elsie Pickles who is training to be a witch. The first […]
