It’s Almost Time for MoonCon 2021!
Getting really excited now about MoonCon 2021 – a FREE two-day conference presented by a whole host of Moon Book Authors – who’ll be talking about their books, their Paganism and… well, anything else that comes to mind, really!
I’ll be talking along with Debi Gregory and Mabh Savage about Pagan parenting and, if the gossip we had a week or so ago was anything to go by, it’ll be a good exploration of the subject. I’m really looking forward to teaming up with these two lovely ladies.
We’re on at 12 – 12.45 pm on Saturday, June 5th and you can join us by clicking on this link:

The line up over the two days is fantastic – there’s sure to be something to interest just about everyone.

Pooka Pages Magazine for Pagan Kids: http://www.pookapages.com/
This free Pagan children’s magazine is the brainchild of the fabulous Lora Craig Gaddis and it is produced eight times a year, just before each turn of the wheel. It is full of stories, crafts, poems and wonderful suggestions for introducing your children to nature, the wild and the stories of the Gods. I’ve been lucky enough to write for it for about 12 years now.

Writing for Children: Some News!
One of the regular readers of Pooka Pages Magazine for Pagan Kids http://www.pookapages.com Kalina Grimm, asked if she could record the magazine. She has a Youtube channel where she shared her readings of a variety of children’s stories. Her voice is beautiful and she breaths life into the stories so fabulously.
If you are looking for some listening material for your little ones, her channel is highly recommended!

If you’d like a little taster, here she is reading my Beltane 2021 story. I have to say Kalina’s really caught the laziness of Meg the cat with half a tail and the snootiness of Atilla the Bun perfectly!
