Just Finished

Here are the texts of my most recent books, stories, poems and articles - fresh off the writing desk.

I hope you enjoy them.

If you are a publisher or an agent visiting this site, and you like something here ...it's still available - please contact me.

Some are ready to be sent to publishers for them to consider.

One has been written just for fun.

I'm deciding if I will illustrate two of them myself. Though publishers usually like to choose illustrators, for my own satisfaction I may draw and paint something for these books and send 'dummies' to publishers - just incase they like my work. If they prefer to use their own artist, that will be just fine.

Other books I think are finished, but they are taking a little rest before I look at them yet again to see if I can make them 'sparkle' even more with just one more re-edit.

There are two at the 'finished concept' stage. They involve a lot of illustrating, and I would like an 'expression of interest' from a publisher before I work on them any further. I don't want to finish them in a square format and then find that a publisher wants the books to be rectangular, and painted on cream paper instead of white.
