What a delight to visit this gorgeous independent bookshop in Chapel-en-le-Frith the other day! “Reading Matters” had long been on my list of places to go and had been recommended to me recently by several ladies at the High Peak Luncheon Club. It was wonderful to meet the owners, Lyndsay and Sue, and to witness their enthusiasm for books and for my own three titles too. They are now stocking all three: Alfie’s Story, Fearless Flynn and Arkwright the Duck.
Sue has just received the 2018 Award for Best Children’s Storybook Author of the Year from the publisher, Acquisition International, the UK arm of Global Media Ltd. The organisation contacted her a while ago to say that someone had nominated her for one of their business excellence awards. At that time, they simply wanted to…
I’m so delighted that Lisa, one of the girls I met at Castle Hill in Bakewell years ago, now has her own florist shop called Rebecca Florist in Liskeard, Cornwall. Lisa has just agreed to sell my books and soft toys and is therefore my only stockist in Cornwall. Hope that if you’re ever in…
My next book, “Owl to the Rescue”, is due to be published next month (October 2019), but the character soft toy – our heroic owl – has flown in ahead of the book and is already going down a storm with customers, young and old alike. Anyone who wants their own cuddly owl needs to…

We received these lovely pictures and email recently from a very satisfied 9-month-old customer – well, from her Mum, of course. “She has all of a sudden become obsessed with Alfie, kissing him and hugging him all day long and she won’t let him leave her side. With only having one, I’m worried she’ll lose…
This young fan had “Alfie’s Story” bought for him last year by his grandparents. His grandma wrote to me recently to tell me that, for the last few months, he has asked for the story almost every night as his bedtime read. He also sleeps with the Alfie cat toy. Grandma sent me this photo…
