Testimonials

  • Laugh-out-loud funny!

    “This book is absolutely HILARIOUS! And if your children are reluctant readers, then THIS is the book that will change that forever! It’s brilliantly written, thoroughly engaging from start to finish, and wonderfully witty every step of the way.” – B Ware.

  • A great book

    "A really great story and perfect for fans of Alex Rider. Loved by my Year 5 class and myself. I'm very much looking forward to the next book in the series.” – Chrissie

  • A funny and adventurous read

    “My son loves reading, but tends to dip in and out of books - I could tell this one was a hit when he kept taking it to bed each night.” – PrincessGrunge

I am an author, playwright, poet, illustrator and screenwriter. In my day job I work on Sustainability, helping decarbonise world-wide supply chains. I have been working with children as a Scout Cubs Leader for quite a few years. My mission is to get more kids reading, especially boys, whose reading stats are consistently lower than girls. My Microraptor series is the first step to that!
