This Sunday we are going to be splitting in 2 and doing a magical flit to The True Believers Comic Book Christmas Faire at Smokey Joes in Cheltenham, and ALSO the Cranham Craft Fayre. I’ll be taking The Little Book of Festive Poetry and Winters Bloom plus the stickers and cards and things I’ve made. […]
Last year I did an Advent painting challenge and produced a painting a day. The results are in this book along with a story-poem I have written to thread the pictures together. It is a tale that pierces right through to the heart of mythology and to our feelings of loss and renewal. There are […]
So a few years ago now I wrote a series of halloween poems for Jean who wanted something spooky but not scary and could only say spoogy as she was four or something. I then did a few more poems and typed it all up and did some illustrations the originals having been lost in […]
This year is the fifth year (on average) of The Monster Blogs and so I am doing various give aways etc… March I decided to make a hand written and illustrated poetry book called Berries and Blood. There will only ever be a max of ten of these and only that many if I can […]

Yesterday I received through the post the little button badges of one of my illustrations – it is the Mummy Eating Cherry Pie. I am so pleased with them! I gave the girls their badges as soon as they came home from school. There are a hundred of these and they are for the launch […]
This week has been hard work but amazing! Really amazing. Firstly I performed at Well Versed in Cheltenham on Wednesday – then Thursday I headed off to college to learn science writing and discovered there are things I am good at (though that whole spelling thing still evades me!). Then there was the Bristol Comic […]

I needed stickers for the Poetry Writing Challenge I am running and then I needed postcards for the Science-Art Exhibition I was […]
