About the writer

Apart from sports, creative writing was really the only other activity I enjoyed at school.  Having twins has helped me rekindle that enjoyment.  This book was written firmly with my children in-mind, the idea was to create a character that would grab their attention and get them excited. Something that engages our adventurous brain and challenged me to actually finish a writing project.
