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…
For me, the start of September and the new academic year is more like my January. Even after I had finished my studies, and before my children were of school age, there was something about September and the start of a new academic year that symbolised a clean page and…
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…
Another year, another book list! I managed to read almost everything from my Twelve Books for 2022 list, alongside a few others in the last twelve months, which was a huge improvement on previous years. This time, I have chosen six books that I thought could make up our 2023…
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…

Back in June 2020 I launched my online evil eye store I SPY MY EVIL EYE. I wanted to start my own business for a long time, something separate from my books and writing, and was planning to launch my shop much earlier in the year. But then the pandemic…
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!
Quite a few years back I wrote some articles which were published in The Huffington Post in their blogger section. The site was originally founded by Greek-American author and businesswoman Arianna Huffington in 2005, and has since been bought by Buzzfeed, an American digital media company. At the time I…
It’s been quite a journey and I am VERY excited to announce that I have just published the SIXTH and FINAL book in my Greek mythological children’s chapter book series The Adventures of Omicron!!
We may have skipped November but welcome to December/January’s Book Club! This time I have rounded up a list of 12 books that I thought could make up our 2022 reading list. One book a month can be a stretch when you’re very busy but this year I’m going to…
Hello all! I am very excited to announce that I have just published my FIFTH Greek mythological children’s book in the Omicron chapter series:
Welcome to October’s Book Club! I personally find book recommendation blog posts really useful when I can’t be bothered to research new books so I thought that I would do a quick round-up of some of the material I have read / I am hoping to read this month that…
In the words of Britney: It’s been a while. I know I shouldn’t have kept you waiting, but I’m here now. I hope everyone is doing ok in these crazy times and not letting the utter madness of the outside world get to you. Many of us had our fair…
