Welcome to my website. Here you can find out about me, my books, my poems... and what my little fox Fletcher has been up to in some pages from his diary. Here's the latest news...
​

There are now nine picture books in the Fletcher's Four Seasons series, beautifully illustrated by Tiphanie Beeke and published by Graffeg (the illustration above is from Fletcher and the Snowflake Christmas). 

'These books are simply marvelous. Not only encouraging young children in genuine appreciation of the nature, they also encourage empathy, understanding and a desire to help each other. Evocative, gentle, a joy to look at and utterly magical… every single one of them makes me smile.' Fallen Star Stories

'Captivating' - Publishers Weekly *starred review*
'Will make children gasp with delight” - Booklist
'Potent synthesis of art and prose' - School Library Journal *starred review*

UK readers, if you order from Kenilworth Books I'm happy to pop in and add a dedication. Overseas readers, if you can’t find the books in your local shops, they are available from Blackwells with delivery worldwide.

Fletcher's adventures can now be shared with the tiniest book-lovers. Fletcher and the Seasons, Fletcher's Colours and Fletcher's Numbers feature the characters from the Fletcher's Four Seasons picture books in super-shiny toddler-friendly format.

​I've teamed up with Working Partners and Poplar Books to write mermaid chapter books for the Japanese market, illustrated by TaniTomo. The twelve book Millie and the Mermaids/Mio and the Mermaids series was completed in 2022. The first five Emma and the Mermaids books are out now, book 6 will be published in December 2025 and I'll be writing book 8 in the new year.
