Hello and welcome to my website.

I’m a new talented children's author with a unique writing style that provides a reading experience unlike any other. I’m so appreciative and delighted by the positive responses my work has already received. I would like to foster that connection with a wider audience.

I’m looking forward to sharing my future stories as they come to fruition, but in the meantime, check out some of my featured publications and more personal blog posts below.

 SO... WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT

 SO... WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT.

Well, let me tell you.

But firstly, something you need to know. This story was originally written and published under the title of 'THE BUTTERFLY BEE LADY AND THE BEE.

​

I decided however to change the title, to give it, its true meaning, what the story is really about. And that's magic, in fact the very first magic, which was called MARAGIC.

A story of love, adventure, heroism, friendships, enemies, battles, evil witches and hero's. An epic journey through four books with beautifully colored illustrations in books 1-2.

A story of how MARAGIC was created and by whom. 

 

Book 1 is aimed at younger readers, it sets the stage for the book series arc, into a journey progressively through the next three books a continuation of the story, gaining depth with readers ages, up to young adult. However Book 1 is the beginning of the path and should be read to kick start the young readers journey.

​

A story, a fairy tale in the old sense, like the ones we all had read to us when we were little, no modern technical stuff, just plain fantasy fiction. (With a little reality).

There was once, a long time ago two twin sisters who were dragonfly queens, Sindeena and Belliza who ruled the skies.

One day Belliza found a fabled living pollen crystal stone, it was the first ever magic, created many years before.

But through jealousy and malice, by her sister Sindeena, the stone breaks and transforms Belliza into the very first butterfly. She is banished, only to return later after realising she had the power to change and transform living things. But her sister Sindeena sets out to destroy her and to take from her the magic living pollen that her sister possess.

Belliza gives charge to a Bee called Bramley that she befriends to help protect her children. While she leads a false trail for her sister to follow.

Things don't go as planned, and Bramley's life changes forever as sinister, malicious events follows him.

Bree's life changes dramatically, it's now a fight for survival.

The blue moon rises, making its day, but the stars still glow, in this very place. As the water falls the lights do shine where the rainbow touches in its rolling wake upon the face of the shimmering lake, showing the place for you to go with beautiful treasures, beautiful colours to fill your mind, hidden down far below, you’ll find them, where they disappeared together without a trace, now as one. I’ll go to that place, the crystal Stone, that lies in wait.
