A few words about myself, I have two amazing children who get read to nearly every night books covering every genre. I then started making up my own stories for the children and they loved it, so it got me thinking of one day writing a children's book. This was around 2017. After 5 years of getting on with life, I decided it was time to put pen to paper. And in 7 months the book was 'I want to go to space' was completed. 4 months later and Jessica's adventures of 'I want to go to space' was published. I then set about writing a story that I had thought about for a while and in October 2023 'The Lost Alien' was published. I have to say how amazing my Illustrator Nemy has been. She is so talented (and patient) and my books wouldn't be what they are without her talent.
So what is 'I want to go space about?' It's about a boy called Jimmy & Jessica who love everything about space, when they receive a telescope on Christmas day it brings them even closer to their passions. They imagine what adventures they would have. I wanted to not only write a book about a story but I wanted children who read this story to bring it to life, and that's exactly what they can do. All the scenarios they imagine can be replicated in a local playground. Swinging, climbing, jumping and using their own imagination while doing so. It's also a story of family and members of the family giving them both advice on how to help them achieve their dreams. The book then fast-forwards to their adult life (or is it just his imagination? You decide) working hard and fulfilling their dream.
I hope this book makes children smile and encourages them to love their passion and work hard towards their goals.
For children who love space, there are facts about all the planets throughout the book and a 'Did you know' section at the back.
The Lost Alien is about a little alien who crashes on Earth and needs to repair his spaceship. He finds help from the local farm animals but his crash has alerted the local authorities! It's a beautiful book about kindness, love, friendship and bravery. I loved working on this children's book, and we are both so proud of it.
I also visit schools (for free) in Kent teaching space to children in my own time. I also love doing author visits.
