Born talking - well, that's what my mum says - I was soon telling stories and never stopped. For the last forty years I have been a writer of books for children. The stories I wrote were always for and about the children in my life, my son and two daughters, my grandchildren and young readers in schools and libraries, which I loved visiting. That was fine till lock-down when suddenly life became a bit less fun. I live alone and with no one to talk to, except my cat, it felt a bit lonely. But there was a plus. I picked up a novel I’d started writing when my husband died several years ago - and I finished it. I’m thrilled to say that THE WIDOWS' WINE CLUB, was published by Boldwood Books in August 2023, and the reviews have been great. Do take a look. Lots of readers are enjoying the company of my three widows, sweary Viv, straight-laced Janet, and glamorous Zelda, who are unlikely friends till they bond over a bottle of wine, shared experience and a determination to enjoy life. I’m delighted to say that the sequel, WIDOWS ON THE WINE PATH, is coming out in April 2024, and there’s another one on the way, tentatively called WIDOWS WAIVE THE RULES. They’re off on a cruise. I feel a series coming on! I am still writing for children and a new picture-book CHEEKY CHICK will be published by Boxer Books in January 2024. Lots more picture- books, including BIG RED BATH and CLASS TWO AT THE ZOO, are available from Amazon, as are five titles in my TIME TRAVELLING CAT series where Topher and Ka the time-travelling cat explore life in Egyptian, Roman, Aztec, Tudor, Viking and Victorian times. You’ll also find HANGMAN a novel for teenagers, based on real life, posing the question: What do you do when you know someone is being bullied? - and several more ‘chapter books’. I write to entertain and to empower. That’s true of my stories for children and adults. I agree with Dr Samuel Johnson who said, ‘The only end of writing is to enable readers better to enjoy life - or endure it.’ Is that Dr J’s way of recommending ‘feel-good fiction’? I hope so because that’s what I write! I love most aspects of writing, even the stuck-at-homeness. I love my house and garden and my cat. But I am perhaps more extrovert than most writers, so I love being invited to talk about my work. I’ll travel far and wide to meet readers so please invite me if you’d like to know more about me and my books. Or talk to me on Zoom. Or virtually visit me on my website.
