About

I live in London, UK.

I published my first children's book, 'The Secret Lake',in September 2011. It's a magical 'time-slip' story in which two children travel back in time 100 years and meet the children living in their then home... It's had wonderful 5-Star reviews - from children and adults alike, both on Amazon UK/USA, and on Goodreads and on my website below.  I was also thrilled to receive 5 Stars from the ex Head Reader for Puffin UK!

You can find out more about The Secret Lake at www.thesecretlake.com

My second book, Eeek! (about a soccer-crazy runaway alien...!) came out at the end of February 2012 and has also had great reviews!  It's been placed in 7+, 9+, Books for Boys and Books for Reluctant Readers on the respected website 'LoveReading4KidsUK' !

Description

<p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">First, he led his own uprising. Then he captured a forsaken king. Henry had no intention of taking the crown for himself; it was given to him by popular acclaim. Alas, it didn't take long to realize that that having the kingship was much less rewarding than striving for it. Only three months after his coronation, Henry IV had to face a rebellion led by Richard's disgruntled favorites. Repressive measures led to more discontent. His own supporters turned against him, demanding more than he could give. The haughty Percies precipitated the Battle of Shrewsbury which nearly cost him the throne—and his life.</span><br style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;" /><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">To make matters worse, even after Richard II's funeral, the deposed monarch was rumored to be in Scotland, planning his return. The king just wouldn't stay down and malcontents wanted him back.</span></p>

<p><br /><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';">&quot;This is an excellent read for anyone intrigued by secret gardens and time travel. And because of the strong mix of characters it succeeds in being that most unusual of books - a book that can be appreciated by both boys and girls alike.<br /><br /> However what I particularly liked about this book is that, unlike many of the lengthy tomes published for 8 - 12 year-olds these days, the page count is extremely manageable with short, gripping chapters that lead you swiftly on through an absorbing tale of mystery and suspense.<br /><br /> I run an advice service for children's writers </span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';">and I would be more than happy if I had been responsible for taking this book to market.&quot;<br /><br /><em> - Louise Jordan, ex Head Reader for Puffin UK, founder The Writers' Advice Centre for Children's Books, London, UK</em> -</span></p>
