about me

I have always wanted to 'become' an author. Now I know that you don't become an author, you either are one, or you aren't, published or not.
When I was 9, I sent some homemade books to Heinemann asking them to publish them. They declined, but with a personal note that they were sure I'd get published one day!
The Thought Shapers is undergoing revisions. I am half way through writing the sequel about which a reader for The Literacy Consultancy said, 'I am in awe, frankly.'.If you are interested in reading either The Thought Shapers, or its sequel, Dreamcatcher, please contact me.

I very much appreciate all the comments I've had on The Thought Shapers, It is now stronger so thank you all.

favourite books

So many, I could never mention them all. Here are some books that have grabbed me in one way or the other over the last year or two.
Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell - I admire the deft way he handles so many voices.
The Time Traveller's Wife - Audrey Niffenegger - how does she manage that timeline? I loved the characters and cried - lots.
His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman - great ideas, fantasy on a huge scale.

I nearly backed you on your CV alone! But have had a look at chapter one and it's well written so I'm happy to back this. I admire you for asking for constructive criticism - most people here want nothing of the kind...(I do - but then I've been here a long time and had lots). However, I'm sorry b... view book

Hi - I enjoyed the first chapter of your book, and love anything with mysterious books in. It also reads smoothly. Backed! ;) view book

Hi Benjamin I love this landscape and the ancient feeling for it that you conjure up. I was also impressed by your website. Backed. Good luck. Tricia view book

Hi, I liked this but I think there's a few things you can still do to improve it, here they are - use or lose as you see fit. Firstly - I would start with the book catching fire - it's a good visual and you can backtrack from there - but be careful of too much show. I enjoyed the chatty style,... view book

Hi - loved the pitch - think you've got a really special twist on a common theme here. Enjoyed first chapter, but I wonder if you should start with her arriving in Darwin Road - that first para is really good. Keep it simple, I think Feed in the other stuff later. Backed. Tricia view book
