Welcome to my website

Three new picture books available now!

We’re off on a trip to the Boo Zoo,

in the creepiest part of town . . .

Meet zombies and witches and goblins galore,

banshees and werewolves and so much more.

A fun, spooky read – with a big surprise in store!

Go, scooter, go!

Where are you off to, Hugo? And why is there an enormous traffic jam? A wild traffic tale with a delightful surprise at the end. With charming illustrations by Kaye Julian, winner of the Storylines Gavin Bishop award 2024.

Jo and the NO

When Jo first saw the NO, Jo didn’t know what it was.

‘Shoo, NO!’ said Jo.

The NO didn’t go.

A gentle – and powerful – fable about overcoming our resistance to the unknown.

 

Two more picture books you may not have read yet

Have you seen tomorrow?

We saw a spinosaurus

Support your local bookshop

If you buy one of my books through a link on this website I receive a 5% commission. This is a great help to me in being able to write more books.

But if you’re lucky enough to have a good bookshop in your area, please support them. If they don’t have the book you want, I’m sure they’ll get a copy in for you as soon as they can.

Though it’s sometimes easier to click on a link and have a book delivered to your door, nothing beats a great bookshop with knowledgeable (some might say book-mad) staff. If you like my books they’ll be able to suggest other great New Zealand writers you might try as well.
