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!
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' !
<p>FBI agent Alexis Toles is dispatched to New Rochelle, New York, to investigate threatening letters sent to Congressman Christopher O’Brien, and to protect his ex-wife, Cassidy, and six-year-old son, Dylan. But when she gets to New Rochelle, Alex discovers that there is more to the situation than simple stalking or political agendas; she finds that she has growing romantic feelings for Cassidy—and that the feelings are mutual.</p><p>As Alex and Cassidy explore their budding romance, they must surmount many obstacles in explaining their relationship to those around them, including Dylan. All the while, the investigation continues, and the disturbing, convoluted, and complicated web surrounding the threats begins to unravel, placing the characters’ lives in grave danger.</p><p><i>Intersection</i> is a taut political thriller that combines the action and suspense found in hit television shows like <i>24</i> with the insight and drama found in the widely popular fiction of LGBT authors such as R. E. Bradshaw and Stacey D’Erasmo. It is sure to appeal to fans of intrigue, mystery, and romance, and to provide positive role models for marginalized groups and relationships.</p>

<h3 style="clear:both;padding:10px;color:#111111;font-family:'Comic Sans MS';"><strong><em>"A boy, an alien and football - without any shadow of doubt it's a match made in heaven for boys in particular and if you have a reluctant reader in the house aged from 6-9 then you just might get him or her reading as a result of EEEK! Apart from the storyline being a real page-turner it's also laugh-out-loud funny. Just how and why a football mad alien turns up on Charlie's doorstep one day and stays with him will have you in stitches. Eeek may be fluorescent green with smoke coming out of his ears but just like ET he's a wonderfully loveable alien, but this time for the 21st century."</em></strong></h3>
