Hello everyone! It’s been a little while, so if you’re still here, thank you. I’m so glad you are. Today I’m sharing something very special with you: I’ve created my first ever children’s picture book.
My 2026 planners are OUT NOW! For those of you who still prefer a good old fashioned paper diary, hopefully my paperback designs will be right up your street and help you plan for a great year ahead! For anyone who prefers to go digital, or to print their own…
As the year draws to a close, I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has continued to follow my website/blog over the past year (and previous years) and subscribed to my blog posts. And particular thanks to those who have left comments and interacted with me.…

After catching up with a few thrillers that have been languishing on my kindle for a while, I’ve decided to return to my roots and dive back into Greek mythology this summer. The Greek myths continue to fascinate me and I always love to read a fresh take on old…
Lately, I’ve found myself thinking about what other writing projects I would like to try my hand at and also, what I would do differently if I were to begin my writing journey again. We all change and evolve as we get older and our opinions and thoughts differ from…
I am excited to announce that my children’s Greek mythological chapter book series The Adventures of Omicron is now in BOOK TRAILER FORM! It took me quite some time to create this little video as part of my book promotion (!) and I really hope that everyone enjoys it!
Another year, another book list! But this time with a twist! Over the years I have accumulated many books on my Kindle, particularly during sales. After doing some digital decluttering, I noticed that there were quite a few books on there that I haven’t finished reading and a fair number…
A lot of kids today seem to have it all – the latest tech, the latest video game, etc, but how much of that is really both educational AND fun for ALL the family? So for this festive season, I’ve created a list of Amazon fun and educational gifts for…
Last year I made the decision to properly join the world of audiobooks. During the pandemic, I started delving into self-help books (didn’t we all?) and found that I could never finish them as they were generally very long and fairly tedious. I previously took advantage of a free trial…
Does anyone else get excited about choosing the perfect books for their summer hols? That smell of a fresh new book brings me such delight (even though most of mine are now downloaded onto my kindle!). Do you reach for a romance for your days by the sea? A thrilling…
Writing for children can be incredibly hard; they are an unpredictable audience, unsure of their preferred genre, and extremely harsh critics. Stories have to be exciting, with colourful characters (and perhaps even more colourful illustrations!) with a pace that can keep hold of a little one’s ever-distracted attention. In my…
Spring is here at last and with it comes one of my favourite times of the year – EASTER! I have created quite a few activity books now via my notebook/planner brand Pandorus Publishing and although I actually published this one last year I didn’t really advertise it on my…
Despite the disastrous economic climate we currently find ourselves in, we still all want to make Christmas a special time, particularly for our children. Many of us would spend our last pennies on gifts for our loved ones, and whilst that may not be the best financial decision at this…
I can still remember the moment the optician told me that I needed glasses. I was 8 years old and had been having problems seeing the blackboard at school (yeesh that makes me sound old!), as well as trying to find my friends in the lunch hall. A routine eye…
Hello all! Summer is well and truly upon us and to keep the kids entertained and away from their screens this holiday, I have created a brand new activity book – a kids super summer activity journal!
Greek Orthodox Easter celebrations begin many days before the Easter weekend with Carnival season and other traditions. One really sweet custom is that of Kyra Sarakosti, or Lady Lent, which marks the beginning of Great Lent, 40 days of fasting prior to Easter. It counts the weeks from Clean Monday…
