A little mention…

The Railway Rabbits had a little mention on guardian.co.uk which I thought was worth a mention, but I thought I’d share the article as it’s about encouraging children to read and mentions some other great books for children – click here to read the article.

Early Readers

Some of my books have been included in the Orion Early Reader campaign;  The Three Little Princesses, The Three Little Pirates and the Three Little Witches.  You can find out more about the campaign and view other books by other authors such as Sally Gardner, Francesca Simon, Vivian French and Marcus Sedgwick by clicking here.  Orion have also released a promotional PDF which you can download by clicking here.  To buy the books online at Waterstone’s click here.  As they point out – It’s never to early to start reading.

Book Launch With St Joseph’s

I celebrated the launch of the two latest books in the Railway Rabbits series with some wonderful children from St Joseph’s School in Launceston at the steam railway that inspired the stories. We went for a ride on the steam train and then had lots of Easter Eggs. Thanks to everyone who attended. Heritage Railway Magazine has an article on the visit here. Launceston Today also have an article here.

Railway Rabbits Book 5

The fifth book in the Railway Rabbits series is now out.  When Bracken discovers a strange tunnel near the railway line, he decides to go exploring – and soon finds himself in big trouble! To buy the book from Waterstone’s click here. I’m busy working on the rest of the books in the series so look out for more adventures soon.

Trenance Learning Academy

I visited the Trenance Learning Academy and spoke to some of the children about my stories, thanks to everyone who listened!  Cornwall Today have a small article on the visit here.
