Welcome to my website, I hope you enjoy browsing the pages and finding out about my books and about me too.

Another busy start to the year with some new books on the horizon - details soon! I hope those of you who have bought - a Children's History of Coventry - are enjoying it. It's a fun to read history book for children and adults which looks at my home-town of Coventry's history from the Romans right up to the present day. (More on this below).

I've also got five of my early books out now as ebooks! Originally four of these were Sealed Mysteries with a pull-out chapter. There's Fishing for Clues, Stealing the Show, Pushing his Luck and Pointing the Finger. They're now out as Little Tyke Murder Mysteries. You can find these on www.amazon.co.uk and www.amazon.com  The stories include a link to a secret page on this website where you'll get more clues to help solve the crime. (More on this on the eBook page). Cry Danger is also available now as an ebook.

Checkout my books page to get an insight into a host of different and exciting stories along with some snippets of the action.

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, you can email me.

One of the best things about writing children's books is visiting schools and talking to young readers. Already this year I've been to a number of schools including Willenhall Primary and Sowe Valley School which are both in Coventry, and Sunderland High School. Really pleased to be working with Alveston Primary in Stratford, as part of the Stratford Literary Festival.

If your school or organisation would like an author visit, please contact me and hopefully we'll get a school visit booked.

Its always nice to meet other authors and I belong to a group called The Scattered Authors Society (SAS) and from this a smaller group of Midlands children's authors has sprung up. We're called CARm which stands for 'Children's Author's Roadshow Midlands. As well as meeting up for coffee, chats and lunches we also work together as a group in schools and at festivals.

If you take a look at the CARm website you'll see which other children's authors are involved. I'm sure you'll know many of them and recognise their fantastic books. If you live in the Warwickshire area, lots of signed copies of books written by CARm authors are available for sale. It's a FAB new idea! Read more about this on my NEWS page.

You can follow a host of authors at Authors Electric too. Every day there's an interesting new blog written by a well known author. Visit: http://authorselectric.blogspot.com

My new book - a Hometown World Book, 'A Children's History of Coventry' is now on sale in Waterstones and other book shops, it's also in Tesco and libraries. This colourfully illustrated book takes a look at Coventry's history from the Romans to present day. It was fascinating doing all the research, and I love the artwork that the at Hometown World have come up with. Hope you enjoy it.

The Beast trilogy is available in bookshops, libraries and on Amazon - where you'll also find an author link on www.amazon.com

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.
