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.
