I began writing children's books when I was at art college, so that's over thirty years as a children's author. Must be nearly time to grow up. About eighty titles published to date, I think. These include story books and pop-ups for younger readers, as well as my more recent novels for older children. I'm also an illustrator and paper-engineer, and you can see examples of this type of work around the site. Sometimes I provide the paper engineering for pop-up books by other artists and children's authors - Jan Pienkowski, for example, Emma Chichester-Clark and Damien Hirst. I visit schools giving workshops in paper engineering, and also run writing workshops for adults. I'm part way through a trilogy of children's novels, currently working on the third book. The first two titles, The Various and Celandine, are available on Amazon and in most of the major chain bookstores. The Various was an award winner in The Nestle Smarties Book Prize 2003. Celandine was published on the Fifth of November 2005. Finally I'm a semi-pro musician, playing mostly jazz. I provided the music and artwork for two BBC children's television series of Bump the elephant. Mind you, that was ages ago, and so it's high time somebody sampled it for a dance track and made me a fortune.
