Brief Glimpse Of Work In Progress

I'm really excited to be able to announce that "A Magical Storm" (the 3rd and final book in my "Magical Chapters" trilogy) is almost ready to be published. It just needs to go through the final editing stage and it's good to go! :)

I was happy when I finished my "Toby's Tales" series, but I'm even happier seeing the final "Magical Chapters" book getting ready to be published. This is partially because it's been more eagerly received, but mostly because writing it was a challenge for me since each book was about as long as the entire "Toby's Tales" series by itself, and I don't usually write something that long.

I'm now working on another series of short stories. The series is "Kero's World" and it's based on seeing things that have happened to my little Westie, Kero through his eyes.

I also have some other books in the works, including two more poetry collections (one a children's poetry collection, the other a collection of poems about loss and similar themes) as well as several stand-alone stories.

So plenty of new reads for you to enjoy in the near future! :)

The Light Of Dawn And Other Poems

The Light Of Dawn And Other Poems

Genre: Poetry

Description: "A collection of poems of different lengths and styles – some with a hint of humour, others of a more serious nature – about animals, nature, magic, emotions, and the world around us."

Amazon author page

I now have an Amazon author page.

It's basically just Amazon's version of the one I have on Smashwords, with a bit about me and direct links to the pages on Amazon for my books. But I'm mentioning it for the benifit of those who prefer to buy books on Amazon.

It's at http://www.amazon.co.uk/-/e/B00BHS9DQ6 if you're interested in checking it out.

Toby's Special School

Toby's Games, Book 5: Toby's Special School

Genre: Social Issues / Special Needs

Description: "Toby’s starting to feel like he’s the only blind boy in the world, so when his first day at his new special school comes around, he’s sure the other children will tease him because he can’t see. But when he gets there he soon learns just why they call it a “special” school, and even manages to make a new friend."

The “Toby’s Tales” books are designed to show children – and adults too – the struggles and challenges faced by people who are blind, or who are adjusting to sight loss, while also being useful tools to educate those close to someone who is blind or adjusting to sight loss.
