So, what’s next?

Whilst I can’t say too much just yet, I’m currently querying my latest story – something quite different in the middle-grade space aimed at the young people I teach.

Sir Donkeyhop: Knight of the Sad Sandwich is a custard-fuelled comic adventure where Donny Coddle dons a colander and vows to defeat dreariness with nothing but a mop, a mission, and one tragically soggy sandwich.

Meanwhile, in the gloomier corners of my notebook, Edgar Grimm is unearthing secrets at Gravehall Academy: a gothic mystery full of poetic dread, suspicious teachers, and possibly haunted stationery.

Two very different heroes. One very excitable author. Much dramatic flailing.
