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.

I am from a small village called Swepstone in Leicestershire which is close to Ashby-de-la-Zouch . . . |
