I’ve mentioned WriteMentor several times before and I’m delighted to have such inspirational, established authors to look up to and learn from! I have …

Roald Dahl
There really is #moretobooks when you can become so inspired. I can not deny that Roald Dahl was a massive part of my childhood and one of the authors that has inspired me to become a Children’s writer. As I learnt from Jane Austen when I nipped to Bath a few weekends ago, “If adventures …
Baths of Bath
Last week, I decided to do a solo trip to Bath. Celts The legend of Bath comes from a Celtic story where Prince Balddud was banished from his kingdom after contracting leprosy.

The Perfect Shelter by Clare Helen Welsh
