It’s here!
Thank you to everyone who emailed asking when the second book in the
Gerander Trilogy would be published. The answer is … NOW! (And
check out the new edition of The Song of the Winns.)
‘I have a special assignment for you…’
With their country in danger, Alice and Alex are sent on an undercover
mission—right into the heart of enemy territory.
Meanwhile, Alistair and Tibby Rose set out to rescue Alistair’s
parents from a remote island prison. But someone is determined to stop
them—someone who knows their every move. It seems FIG has a traitor…
Moustaches are marvellous!
False moustaches, that is … And my new book has plenty of them.
Heroes of the Year is the fourth book in the Ernie and Maud
series — and it’s out now!
‘A moustache?’ Super Whiz demanded.
‘On the mayor?’ gasped Valiant Vera.
‘Didn’t she always have one?’ said Desmond.
Extraordinary Ernie and Marvellous Maud have a good chance of winning
the Heroes of the Year award — until a pencil-wielding fiend starts
to wreak havoc in Baxter.
Can Ernie and Maud stop Pencil Pete and win the golden trophy?

E-books

available as e-books through Amazon, Kobo, Apple and the A&R and Borders online stores

I have a new book to welcome to the world!
Kiss Dad once,
Cuddle Mum twice,
‘Goodnight, Mum and Dad.’
‘Goodnight, mice.’
It’s time to say goodnight — but the four cheeky mice skittering, scampering and
scurrying to bed don’t seem very sleepy!
I absolutely love Judy Watson’s illustrations in Goodnight, Mice! Her cheeky,
charming mice are irresistible, and the pictures are full of warmth and humour. I’m a big
fan of Judy’s work; collaborating on the Ernie & Maud series has been so much fun, and I
can’t wait till August when the latest Ernie & Maud book, Heroes of the Year,
comes out.
