About my writing...

I have written for as long as I can remember, but I first reached the lofty heights of being published at the age of about 9 when my story about mice going to the moon to find cheese was pinned to the classroom wall! Since then I have shyly stored my many writings in a virtual folder.

My first publication, Grey Feather-- is not my first work, but it is the one I've absolutely fallen in love with, due to the wonderful characters and the world in which they live, and I hope you will also love them.

I don't have a particular genre, as you will see when I make my other writings available, but I do want to make a series out of Grey Feather.

Don’t judge a book by its cover

As writers, how much notice should we take of feedback. I’m not talking about the actual content, our baby, the thing we nurtured. In this instance I’m talking about a cover.

My cover was created with the help of the direct publishing site you probably know about, and I created it with book number two in mind. At the moment it’s grey, with a feather. Apt for a title called Grey Feather. I love it,
