I have always loved owls, although I have seen very few in their natural habitat, but they have adorned my home in Jersey, Channel Islands in various forms over the years. My love of owls inspired me to write a children’s story based of one of my collection of soft toy owls that I have, coupled with my ability to write in rhyme.
As a child my father would write stories in rhyme to amuse my sisters and me and he would add family photographs to illustrate the stories, so I guess I have inherited his ease of writing in rhyme.
The book is the first in a series of adventures based around the characters that live in Spooky Wood (aka Eerie Wood) and it has been a wish of mine for some time to put it into print. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing and illustrating it.
