Current news

Virtual Creative writing festivals

I am delighted to be one of the authors and illustrators  who have been busy recording workshops and plenaries for the Mini-Shout! and ShoutWest! creative writing festivals

​

Here I am with fellow authors, Mo O'Hara and Karen Owen with our bags of books for the Mini-Shout! outside the wonderful Tales on Moon Lane Bookshop.

Thank you to the  Arts Council for the funding!

Isolation Inspiration!

Alongside fellow writers, Dom Conlon, Mo O'Hara and Chitra Soundar I  have been writing a series of poems inspired by our reflections on life in lockdown. 

It's available here as a free download pdf. Do share it with your family and friends. Send us your poems, stories  and illustrations.

Why not make your own superhero?
