For 20 years almost to the day, I was a Children's Author (note the caps). As a CA, I published around 45 books for children of various ages, a fair bundle of stories, and a number of 'educational texts'. Books of mine were translated into over twenty languages, only sixteen of which I speak. During their writing I visited a great many schools and libraries to talk about them, was interviewed by young fans on Blue Peter, and read extracts from the stages and marquees of a number of literary festivals.

But that was then. These days I'm just a writer (lower case 'w'), writing mainly for myself. No audience, no editors, no haggling over contracts and percentages, no arguments about what should go into a story and what should not. And let me tell you, it's quite liberating. So I thought I would build a website to mention some of the recent stuff that I've been working on (along with a few of the older things). And this is it. If you've a mind to, click the panels below and take a poke around.
