Reading for all ages

As my children grow, I’ve loved reading with them through childhood to teenage years. Shared reading inspired the creation of the parallel WW2 stories in Rebels and Resistance, as I longed to be able to talk to my daughter about the tales I was reading, which weren’t suitable for her age. As an author, my first publication was a children’s book, and I have added to my collection ever since.

Below is a list of my published works intended for younger readers, with my recommendations for which ages these stories are suitable for. Some are short stories in various forms, others are available as printed books. The novels in the Naturae Series and Rebels and Resistance Series can be read by mature teenagers but contain adult themes; they are used in High Schools however for their historical content!
