Being an Author & My books….

Last year at 17 my first children’s book was published ‘The Magical Adventure of Little Alf – The discovery of the wild pony’ which was a huge life changer and experience! I never knew I wanted to be an Author until that exact moment, I never thought it would be possible, through school I always struggled with spelling and English. I had always wanted to achieve publishing a book in my life, like most people I had jotted it down jokily on my ‘bucket list.’ (little did I know..)

Then along came Little Alf – my super cute fluffy miniature Shetland who just stands at 28 inches high, this makes him adorably cuddly and extra cheeky he even comes in to the house and knows exactly were the carrots are kept!

After starting an online blog with Little Alf, creating a twitter and Facebook page and gaining over 10K followers… my first book was published about him! It was a busy 6 months! Everyone wanted to second book after the first book! so I set about writing that which seemed to flow more natural than what my first book did, and 7 short months later the Second book was published ‘The Magical Adventure of Little Alf – The enchanted forest’

 Book 1 & 2!

After the first 2 books I have planned an extra 4 to the series and I am currently working on ‘The Magical Adventure of Little Alf – The hidden secrets’ which I hope to have out and published in 2016!

At the End of this year I will be launching the Christmas sequel to the Little Alf Adventure series, which I can’t wait to do because I LOVE CHRISTMAS! my most favourite time of the year! (The cold days, on the sofa with the dogs and a hot chocolate in my hand!)

Christmas Book!

As well as publishing the Little Alf series I am currently working on a teenage book called ‘The Travel Girl’ which I hope to be published at the end of this year/2016 ! I have around 20,000 words to go until it will be completed!

The reason I decided to write the Travel Girl is because I have travelled to lots of destinations, such as Egypt, Italy, France, Paris, Ireland, Spain, Austria… ect and had many wonderful experience! Although the Travel Girl is not a real story it does include some of the experiences I have had and some of the very embarrassing experiences to, which make me cringe all over again having to write about them! I hope that when the Travel Girl is published many people will be able to relate! So many young people go travelling now, and backpacking across the world!

The Travel Girl!

The Travel Girl is based on a Girl called ‘Felicerty Hartford’ a completely made up character who is wanting to escape her life, she has always wanted to travel the world so when her parents and brother go away with work for 6 weeks, Felicerty does too… she has many wonderful experiences and enjoys been away but when her money starts to run out an she finds herself in some very sticky situations, travelling soon isn’t what it is made out to be…. will time catch her up? And hat consequences will she face…?
