Hello again, I hope you all had a great summer.

As another school year begins, Im sure all you teachers out there are starting to think about planning and preparing for the new term.

If you work in the Sheffield, South Yorkshire or North Derbyshire area and would like a local author visit, just get in touch through my contacts page.

You may have noticed that my posts have been few and far between this past few months and that's because I've been doing ( and still am ) a lot of planning and crafting for my daughters upcoming wedding. I am still doing this but I do now need to also concentrate on Book 3. As you may already be aware, my plan is still to have this completed by World Book Day 2020, so I really need to get on with it. I am in the final stages of checking all the illustrations. This particular story has a lot of detail, so I need to check and double check just to make sure I have not missed anything.

It has been really difficult for me to focus on this, especially as I've had so many wedding table decorations to prepare. But it's nice to know that I've nearly finished them, so I can now finally get back to the book.

Keep checking out the blog, as I will be keeping you updated on my progress. I may even do a short feature on how I got into writing and illustrating.
