Six neurodivergent teens and a whale watching boat captain, armed with nothing but wit and DIY weapons, are all that stands between human existence and extinction.

Puff: What’s it feel like to be an author, boss, you know, to have our book published out there?
Me: It feels strange. Having PUFF THE PUFFING PUFFIN on Amazon is wonderful. I’ve dreamed of this moment for so long that it almost doesn’t feel real.
Puff: I know what you mean. When I was a puffling, I dreamed of being SUPERPUFF, but it turned out I was smaller and weaker than everyone else.
Me: Yes, but you went and did something about it. You trained in a gym club for seabirds…
Puff: So did you, boss. It would have been easy to lie down on the clifftop, er… as it were, and give up, but you fought and fought and took charge.
Me: Yes, thanks, Puff. We both turned things round. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s SUPERPUFF!
Puff: Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s SUPERIAN!

The story is brilliant, the images amazing, and the puffin facts at the end are an unexpected bonus. I’m in no doubt that PUFF the Puffing Puffin is going to be everyone’s best friend in no time at all.

I AM PUBLISHED! 11 February 2026. This is a moment I have been dreaming of. My picture book PUFF THE PUFFING PUFFIN for children aged 5 - 7 is available on Amazon as a Kindle ebook edition, in English, in 13 countries. The next step is for me to set up Amazon paperback and hardback versions, and explore other platforms such as Kobo, IngramSpark, Google Play, and Apple Books. An audiobook and translations into different languages will follow. “Be yourself. Above all, let who you are, what you are, what you believe, shine through every sentence you write, every piece you finish.” – John Jakes This is my first big step, paving the way to publishing my other picture books, and my chapter books, middle grade, young adult, and adult books. “I am being myself, and letting who I am shine through every sentence I write”. 😀 I use my imagination and write what inspires me, no matter the age group or genre. Ever since I was young, I have loved puffins, with their cuteness and comical appearance, the “clowns of the sea.” I hope children and parents love them in my book too. I have worked incredibly hard for the last 8 years to get to this point, and I feel an exciting future is opening up for me. I am proud to now call myself an author. I have taken control, I am in charge of my own destiny, and it feels great.
