Authors Biography
As a child, I loved losing myself in whimsical stories or escaping in swashbuckling adventures, and have always been drawn to rhymes and word play. Now, I have decided to chase a long-held dream of writing rhyming children’s books.
My first book, The Christmas That Santa Shaved Off His Beard was well received, and this has given me the confidence to continue with my writing career.

Exactly describes ME! (Except for the old’)
Thank you to everyone who has bought the book and supported me with a vote
Young children will enjoy spotting the things the old man can see. The illustrations are fun and colourful.
A delightful book. My grandchildren loved it
no doubt remembering when he went fishing with us and caught so many.
The most wonderful children’s book. Ideal for children who are learning the days of the week.
Carry on the good work!
A perfect gift for Christmas.
