I was invited to write an article called an ‘Authors Leak’ by a cool website called ‘The Wordicle’.
This was to discuss the back story behind my children’s book ‘The Tap-Dancing Pigeon Of Covent Garden’.
I found this really exciting to write.

I am proud to announce that my children’s book ‘The Tap-Dancing Pigeon Of Covent Garden has been selected as a finalist in the category ‘Children’s Fiction’ by IAN Independent Author Network 2020.
I am excited to announce that my front cover came 3rd in the AllAuthor, August cover of the month. After a lot of determination and perseverance I dedicated my free time in between motherhood, school holidays and lockdown, to encouraging people to vote, once a week for four weeks for ‘The Tap-Dancing Pigeon Of Covent Garden’.
My aim for this year was to gain an award before 5th September 2020, which will be a year since publication. I am thrilled to have been given this award. My illustrator Jon Davis has created amazing illustrations to compliment my book and I feel very lucky and proud to call him my illustrator.
