Very exited to say that my latest book just won The Golden Wizard Book Prize award 2024 for childrens literature.

A Cottingley Christmas - A Tooth Bearer tale is now available as a paperback or eBook from Amazon and to order via good bookstores.

At a time when the world was at its bleakest, magic still found a home within a child's heart.
It is 1919 and grieving for her uncle, lost during WWI, Edna captures a fairy that she believes is her Fairy Godmother sent to aid her in her time of need.
Is she right, or is it all a hoax?
A tale of love, loss, family ... and fairies.
For the young and young at heart everywhere.

Find out in my latest children's book, A Cottingley Christmas - A Tooth Bearer tale.

Out Now.

Available from the first of October the next children's book in The Tooth Bearer world will be out. Set in 1919, Edna comes to England from Canada and must come to terms with the loss of her Uncle during WWI.
However, she did not expect to discover the fairies of Cottingley and now must unite the village after a strange series of thefts threaten to close the Christmas fair. Magic, friendship and fairies are all found in
'A Cottingley Christmas'

They say a camera never lies.
When a child's game of photographing fairies in 1917 unleashed a magical entity known as the Darkness of Disbelief upon the fairy realm, no one knew what the consequences would be.
But now, as the lights go out and the people of the realm become forgotten, only Katelyn, the Tooth Bearer, possesses a slim chance to halt the evil entity.
However, the Darkness of Disbelief has grown in power.
Can a child’s determination be enough?
The story you thought you knew didn’t end with the Cottingley photographs.
But it may end now…

It is nearly only a month until 'The Tooth Bearer and the Darkness of Disbelief' is launched and I cannot believe how close it is. I really enjoyed writing the book and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
If the Cottingley fairies interest you then this is the series you should read. A fun adventure for children and the young at heart.

This August will see the release of the third book in The Tooth Bearer series.
The Tooth Bearer and the Darkness of Disbelief.
