I am a professional children's storyteller, based in Trafford, Greater Manchester, UK. I also sell illustrated framed stories and fully personalised stories.
I have published a book called "The Strangeling's Tale", a collection of linked short stories in the style of Grimm fairy tales.
I have two books published through "Success Stories Publishing Ltd." The first is "Drabble Folk and Fairytales", a delight for all ages, 100 stories, each 100 words, telling tales from around the world, tales from throughout history, and tales from my imagination.
The second is "Memoirs of a Madcap Cyclist", a series of snapshots into life as a cyclist. Both are also available in paperback as an ideal stocking filler or small gift.
