Yet, with much of his work submitted to clients and publishers as a well established and respected ‘ghost’, it has not always been able to match the story or the book with the writer. Distinctive narrative style? Yes. It mixes humour, occasionally dark in its origins but always cutting and often laugh aloud funny mixed with a taste for the critical, this is a writer who summons the spirit of the sixties in his work and words, someone who doesn’t always exercise tact or subtlety but always researches his work beyond the literary event horizon before standing fiercely by same.

As an author I've created characters based on real life animals and their adventures reflect the natural world they live in. Books are illustrated throughout with cameo appearances on each page to keep the conversations fresh. My visits include activities with the children and as I'm an expert on the world of Polly Paint Pony, I love the challenge of Q&A with all children - curve balls included! Visits are tailored to suit the children's age groups with tongue twisting challenges to get all the children (and their teachers) involved. As a business owner I can run sessions around soft skills, research skills, business management skills and team building.

I adapt to your needs and different age groups using over 2 decades of experience as an author and illustrator working for publishers and visiting schools in different countries. In interactive assembly talks, classes and workshops, I use my own picture books as a springboard around themes such as inclusivity ('You, Me and Our Whole Wide World'), pets and prehistory ('Mo's Best Friend, A Stone Age Story') or mark making ('Tiz and Ott's Big Draw'). In story making workshops I can prompt the most reluctant drawers and writers to create their stories from characters they build. In schools, libraries, museum and festivals my 'colour painting' workshops provide a calming, progressive way for all ages to create a huge variety of hues, shades, and skin tones using just 3 primary colours and white - guaranteed therapeutic fun! I also offer general talks centred on illustration and its history for older students.

The Citadel was once run by Mimi’s parents who have been imprisoned by the king, accused of treason. When Mimi spies a royal visitor, she uncovers a plot to transform the Citadel from a place of gentle, healing dream craft to one of creating nightmares in order to poison the king. With only her dream creature, Lalu, and her best friend Rafi by her side, Mimi must escape the Citadel and begin a perilous journey across India.
