Welcome to my website, I hope you enjoy browsing the pages and finding out about my books and about me too. You can't beat a good thriller with lots of mystery, suspense and action, and that just what I've tried to create with my stories.

Checkout my books page to get an insight into the stories along with some snippets of the action, plus information as to how to get hold of a copy if you can't find what you're looking for on the bookshelves or in your library.

I love hearing from readers, and I'm always happy to answer questions. Take a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page, but if your question isn't there, just email me.

One of the best things about writing children's books is visiting schools and talking to young readers. So if your school or organisation would like an author visit, direct your teacher to the relevant page on my website, and hopefully we'll get a school visit booked.

Recently I've been busy running creative writing classes in Coventry and Nuneaton. In August I'll be in beautiful Dorset running courses specifically on writing for children. The venue is a lovely privately owned country cottage, so if the weather is fine we will be enjoying the sunshine as we work together.

The courses run from Friday to Sunday, and from Monday to Wednesday on specific dates during August and September. Places are limited to just six people per course and the fee is £250 which includes refreshments and lunch. For full details and information about booking, please go to the News page.

Watch out for an organisation called CARM - Children's Author's Roadshow Midlands of which I'm a member. As a group we're able to work together to organise events to promote children's literature. Members are: David Calcutt, Susan Price, Karen King, Leila Rasheed, Linda Chapman Pippa Goodhart and myself.

RAMPAGE the exciting conclusion in The Beast trilogy. For those readers who have been following Karbel's activities up in the Highlands of Scotland in Endrith Valley be prepared for a dramatic finale when the Beast comes face to face with monstrous spirit who has only carnage and destruction in his soul.

The Reawakening. A ghost-busting team travel to the Valley of Shadows, to investigate ghostly battle sounds and the ghost of a sabre toothed tiger, nicknamed The Beast. Daniel has just gone along with his dad for the holiday, taking his puppy Scooby with him. However they get more than the bargained for and Daniel and his dog are plunged into danger, as the hunters become the hunted.

The Beast - the first book in the trilogy... A beautiful, remote Scottish valley seems like the perfect holiday spot. But as soon as Amanda and her family arrive, she senses something is wrong. But no one will listen to her fears, even when she starts seeing mysterious shadows flitting across the mountainside, and strange scratches appear on her brother Grant's back. Soon Amanda and Grant are locked in a deadly battle with the beast that is haunting the Valley of Shadows.

The Beast, The Reawakening and Rampage are all published by Usborne Publishing.
