I am a children\u2019s author who lives in the north west of England and took early retirement from my job as a data analyst for one of the local Health Authorities in order to dedicate myself to my writing. I have been a prolific reader all my life, and for many years have spent most of my free time writing. As well as being educated up to degree level, I have completed courses and received diplomas from \u2018The Writing School Ltd\u2019 and \u2018The Academy of Children\u2019s Writers\u2019.My aim in life has always been to write, and I have had a sideline of freelance writing for more years than I like to admit to having lived. This has mainly involved published articles in such magazines as \u2018Prediction\u2019. I have also completed two children\u2019s novels, \u2018Caution: Witch in Progress\u2019 and \u2018Zac\u2019s Destiny.\u2019 \u2018Caution: Witch in Progress\u2019 was published by Ghostly Publishing in 2013 and launched at Earl\u2019s Court Book Fair. It is available in paperback and on kindle on Amazon worldwide. Zac’s Destiny is also available on Kindle.<\/p>\n

I released something completely different on Kindle in 2014, a compilation of 13 macabre Twist in the Tale short stories, titled ‘Unlucky For Some’ and definitely NOT for children! If you enjoy scary, check it out!<\/p>\n

A very different children\u2019s humorous fantasy, \u2018Be Careful What You Wish For\u2019, was released by Crimson Cloak Publishing on St Patrick’s Day 2016.<\/p>\n

Are you a fan of Role-Play gamebooks? I have written two of those too. ‘The Chalice of Jupiter’ and ‘Pirate’s Peril’. Can you survive? Why not check them out…<\/p>\n

In 2019 I also released a companion guide to Caution: Witch in Progress. ‘Gertie’s Guide to Nature’s Cures’ is both an educational and fun book for children, introducing them to the amazing cures and remedies available in nature! Well worth a look.<\/p>\n

I am currently working on 12 illustrated zodiac books aimed at children, and a fantasy novel for young adults titled \u2018Dimensions\u2019.<\/p>\n
