Hi, and welcome to my website.
There’s lots of great news to share with you all.
The fourth and final Major and Mynah adventure will be out on February 6th. SPUD – the Super Perceptive Undercover Detectives – are in a race to solve a new mystery. When they discover puffins coated in waste oil that has been dumped in the sea, they must find out who is to blame. Can our intrepid trio crack the case before more damage is caused to precious sea life and the Welsh coastline?
Project Puffin is published by Firefly Press, illustrated by Louise Forshaw, and perfect for readers age 6+. Buy the book here, or at a bookshop near you.
My latest project, Disaster Dad, is a bestseller in Ireland! Chicken Chaos is the first in the four-book series for readers aged 7+ that I’m writing with Irish rugby legend and TV star Donncha O’Callaghan. It’s a laugh-out-loud family story full of disastrous D-I-Y, bonkers baking, and some ear-piercing chickens! The book reached number two in the Irish children’s charts and was the 5th bestseller for 2024, despite only being published in October. The paperback edition will be on sale in the UK in May 2025.
The first Major and Mynah adventure is a Blue Peter Book Club read and it featured on the BBC TV children’s show in the summer. Four lucky readers got to fly in a helicopter on their quest to solve some tricky clues and find the treasure. You can see their fantastic animation and check out the BBC Bitesize guide to the book here.
I was invited by the Book Trust to write a piece for their blog about why it was so important to me to create a character with hearing loss, which you can read here.
Happy reading,
