Profile
- About Me
- I live in a village just outside the cathedral city of Lichfield.
I recently took early retirement following a career in Dentistry. I am now more flexible to write and meet with others who are in the industry and visit schools, libraries etc.
I have three published Children's novels: "The Other End of the Rainbow," "Pirates...and a Piglet," and "The Wayward Wagon." The fourth book in the series should be published in next few months - "The Boy who TrIcked Trolls."
