I wanted to be a genie when I grew up but soon discovered they could spend centuries locked in a bottle. I now write about them instead.

I have important memories vested in certain objects, my favourite books for instance. I own old editions of The Hobbit, Anne of Green Gables, some works by Roald Dahl, Alice in Wonderland, Wuthering Heights, Pride and Prejudice, and Jane Eyre, which I treasure, not just for the practical purpose of reading them over and over, but because these stories resonate with something deep inside me.

The Traveler's Telescope (Children's Books)
0 chapters   —   updated Aug 24, 2011 04:55pm
Description: Ruby's friends arrive to use one of the most valuable magical objects that Granny McQuirky keeps in the attic - the traveler's telescope. But when Ruby's house-proud mother gives it a polish, the fussy next-door-neighbor Mrs Pinkus and her poodle are accidentally zapped into another world. Ruby and her friends follow in an attempt to bring them back. Unfortunately, they bring back more than they bargained for and Granny McQuirky is blamed for a crime she didn't commit. Ruby and her friends must prove her innocence before she is sentenced to 100 years in a genie bottle. But at every turn, a mysterious enemy threatens Ruby's life.
