Maureen Gordon

Maureen Gordon is of African Caribbean descent having lived in the U.K for more than 50 years. She has travelled extensively and some of her stories are inspired by her adventures and covers different genres. She has worked in the field of social care for many years and currently runs a support service for Children and families, offering therapeutic support and activities for parents and children to spent quality time together.

Her first Children's book Penny & Monique's Caribbean Adventure was borne out of her childhood memories from her native Jamaica. It was written to provide a cultural back drop in teaching children about aspects of the Caribbean that would be new and interesting and different. Caribbean adventures inspired her to begin writing for children books that would not only educate and inspire but to include characters in the stories that children especially of black and ethnic backgrounds could relate to. Her other titles include Curious Sam and the Courgette- Marrow, The adventures of Lucky the Lost key, Caribbean Adventures the tale of the dancing frogs. As well as a Christian focused book Life Lessons our foundations. Her newest book Changing Colours introduces us to the subject of tolerance and supporting others using vegetables we all know and love as the main characters.
