Hello and welcome to my website.
My passion is writing books for children to educate on personal and social issues, and books about working dogs. I also enjoy helping people record their memoirs, and writing biographies.
Separate to that I enjoy working with dogs, helping them to overcome behavioural problems and guiding training.
There's more information throughout the site so please read on.
Note that some of my titles can be purchased directly by going to the BOOKS section of this website. If they are not in stock, please contact your local or on-line bookstore for availability.
Thanks for visiting.
