About the author

After becoming a Welsh-to-adults tutor I began writing stories for Welsh learners to help accelerate the learning process. I combined this with classical music on my Cadw Swn home-study Welsh course.

The Aberarthur stories in Cadw Swn came out of this, and then the novel Coed y Brenin. I'd write a story each week and we'd read through it in class. People seemed to like them.

After a while another set of stories started to surface, around the strange, rather supernatural area of Cwm Gwrachod (Witches' Valley).

I seem to remember writing another half a novel of stories in each series. I wonder which will see the light of day first?

After a while I thought I'd record the four branches of the Mabinogion as an audio book. That in turn led to recording my other books as audio books, and then other authors started asking me to record audiobooks for them.
