My Story

I have dyslexia, among other things and I often feel like a big kid in a bigger body—something I inherited from my father, who never really grew up either. I'm not cultivating veggies (or weeds) in my allot, I enjoy writing fantasy stories for children, while also helping others their dyslexia challenges. As the author of the Daft Tales Series and the well-known Monkey’s Fart, I'm dedicated to engaging kids with the joys of reading and having fun. Humor is the foundation of my stories, as showcased in the Space Nutz trilogy for young and new adult readers. I’m also open to exploring more serious topics, as seen in my dystopian Spirit Wolf, where humor is used to lighten the darker elements of narrative. While humor is central to my writing, I don't shy from addressing tough issues that underlie many of my stories. Subjects like the environment, domestic violence, exploitation, and poverty are woven into the fabric of my work. I handle these topics with care, gently guiding readers back to the story with my unique blend of humor fun. As I like say, “I love being quirky and different, and if I create a smile, a giggle, or a belly laugh, then I've truly succeededWhen I'm not staring at a blank screen in my dusty ivory tower, my mind often travels to the planet Zog in search of inspiration. When I finally return to Earth, I cherish time spent with my family and my pet bed bugs in Nottinghamshire, England.
