Authors Bio

Like so many who experienced lock-downs and curfews, I decided to use my time to create children's stories. I now have two books published with a third on the way. 

As I blundered my way through the creation of my first book; Maddy and the Elf-The Greatest Gift of All - inspired by my niece Maddy, who loves Christmas elves, I began an epic journey of my own. Many lessons learnt along the way. My desire is to build a catalogue of fun child friendly stories.

My Third book, Bruce and The Elf Mystery Muddy letters, has just landed. I'd love you to check it out over on Amazon.
