My first book was published in 2005 and on the site you can find out more about my current and forthcoming titles. Working upwards on the age scale (starting with the youngest), there are:-

MARY'S PENNY - beautifully illustrated by Richard Holland it's based on a traditional tale that I think everyone should read!
THE LITTLE EGG - meant for children just starting to read, but a fun one to read aloud to toddlers.

The FLOTSAM & JETSAM books. They're nice for children from 7 to read to themselves, but also lovely to read aloud to younger ones from 4 upwards. These titles work well across the whole primary age range (up to and including Year 6) - it seems everyone relates to the magic of the sea!

Then there are the adventure stories for 7 to 11's - WAKING MERLIN, MERLIN'S APPRENTICE, THE WORLD'S BELLYBUTTON, THE KRAKEN SNORES and 100% PIG.

The Poppy Fields books are for 9+ but also make light, entertaining reads for older children. MONDAYS ARE MURDER has just won the Red House Book Award! There are currently six titles in print with four more planned. You can see a fabulous trailer here:

USELESS, TWO WORDS and GERONIMO are short, punchy books for readers from 12+. APACHE and THE GOLDSMITH'S DAUGHTER are for both teenagers and adults.
