Publications & Projects
If My Dad Were A Dog‘If my Dad were a Dog’ came out in 2007 and sold over 40,000 copies when it was published by Chicken House/Scholastic. My Dad didn’t seem to mind that I wished he were a dog. Now the book has its nose to the ground to sniff out a new publisher. It is available in English and Mandarin. Contact me for more details.

Shane Warne Poetry BookThe crazy side of my mind writes irreverent poems about the King of Balls, Shane Warne. I write under the name Victoria Coverdale, she loves him. The Shane Warne Poetry Book is available from the Appple Store and I’m up for public performances too. ‘Now that my looks are on the wane, there’s always Shane.’

I'll have my taste of home half a world awayI am so torn. Not as irreparably torn as a Christmas present from a British department store on the morning of the 25th, more torn as a basil leaf in an Australian salad on Boxing Day.
I am from a small village called Swepstone in Leicestershire which is close to Ashby-de-la-Zouch . . . |
