Children's Fiction
Before I became a published writer I worked as an editor in Children's Publishing. One of my best jobs was editing the Paddington books. I was lucky enough to get to know Michael Bond, the creator of Paddington. He became a good friend, so I was excited to be asked to write the stories of both Paddington 2 and Paddington in Peru. The brilliant scripts were written by Paul King and Simon Farnaby. I was given the scripts before the films came out in cinemas, and I used them to write the novelisations of the movies. Sadly Michael Bond died in 2017. He did see the first and second Paddington movies, but of course not Paddington in Peru. However, I am sure he would have loved it as it has all the trademark humour and warmth of Michael's original stories.
Vlad the World's Worst Vampire
Vlad is a little vampire who is hopeless at all the things vampires are supposed to be good at. He can't change into a bat. He hates the taste of blood. He is afraid of the dark. He wants to go out in the daytime and make a human friend. His mother, Mortemia, despairs of him. When will he learn to be a proper vampire? But Vlad has his sights set on other things, and along the way he learns the importance of being
confident and happy in your own skin.
🧛🏻♂️ Vlad's stories have been translated in 12 different languages and he has even made it across the pond to the United States of America! 🦇
