I was born in Liverpool the eldest of 5 children.
I now live in Aughton, Lancashire.
This is the first book I have ever written and I have dedicated it to the memory of my late mother Marjorie.
My mum loved children especially her grandchildren, I often found her playing games with them even in her 80 years.
The main character in the book 'Fishacake Harry was created from a childhood story where I grew up in Kirkby, Merseyside.
Inside each chapter of the book is a moral i.e. Kindness, Thoughtfulness and Care, all of which mum instilled in us.
I wrote the chapters of the book in the evenings after work, but Covid 19 came along and I was furloughed, this gave me the time finish the chapters and acquire the illustrations and a publisher, both local people.
Thank You for supporting my chosen children’s charity Alder Hey.
