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' !

<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>
