Hey everyone!

Not content with writing children’s books - I have also written a pantomime which will be performed alongside the Barlaston Proscenium Players in November at Barlaston Village Hall.

I will be jumping in the directors chair too, as well as dusting off my thespian hat as I come to the stage as… the pantomime villain! (Insert evil laugh here)

Get in contact for tickets! 😊

Wonderful adventure to the village of Shepton Mallet.
Fun in the park, feeding the ducks, and eating ice cream!

Is there a better day? 🥰

Plus… may have had some help with inspiration for a new book too! 😂

Evening all!

Volunteered for a day at Dougie Mac Children’s Hospice today, helping to get their children’s garden and surrounding area looking perfect!

Such an amazing experience to help out this charity!

I also decided to donate one of my books to the centre for them to read to the children there.

That is what stories are about.
Giving children adventure, and sometimes an escape from reality - which in some cases can be a tough time for little minds and bodies.

Much love all ❤️
