I am a children’s book author from Essex, now living in Italy. In May 2019 I published my debut book: “Raid of the Ratskull Rodents”, a book full of mystery and adventures – aimed at children aged between 7 and 11.
On July 7th 2020 I published “Chase for the Championship”, my second book which is a football story for girls and boys.

School Author Visits, Events and Skype Sessions
