What would happen if your characters started escaping their covers...?

What would happen if your book characters started escaping their covers? Well that's just what happens in Doodle Mayhem - meet Iver No-Idea and his dog HB...
Once characters start to speak they take on a life of their own - and who knows where that might lead...? 
Best to visit them in their books - and try to leave them there, although they may take root in your imagination and live there for a while...

New book available soon


 

Publication date set for 14th April - which is Belle's birthday - I wonder if she knows what a special lady she is...

Belle is an ex racehorse, but she doesn't know what that means. She was born to race, so what now…?
Maybe she's a jumper, a dressage horse or an explorer… she still has the instinct to race whenever she gets the chance; but maybe just horsing around could be fun too.

Busy Book - a treasure trove of textures for tiny hands to discover...

I never thought I'd find January too short - but this year I don't seem to have got through as much as I'd hoped, and January is running towards the finish line before me..

The painting has been a lovely excuse to hibernate - well almost, right now I'm hiding in the warm as the wind howls round the house. I will have to venture out later though to buy parts for a broken down washing machine that has left me with a load of sopping wet washing - why does something always happen, just when I think I can get on...?

There's a brand new busy book in my bookshop - a treasure trove of textures for tiny hands to discover...

It's a one off unique book as I make them up as I go along. I empty a bag of fabrics onto the table along with ribbons, buttons and cords, and see what the combination inspires me to do.
 

Because babies need books too
Busy/Quiet Book each one hand made and unique from Lost in a Book

A chunky button and cord fastening open to reveal a treasure trove of textures and colours... 
 There's a furry bear, with a shiny button nose, and satin ribbon bow tie...
 There are balloons with colourful cords,,and a button and ribbon to feel and pull.
 There's a handy zip up pocket for little treasures, or just to play with the zip...
 All bound up in  a soft cover from Lost in a Book.

Exclusive to book signings

Where did the busy books go...?

I've taken my busy books out of my website shop until after my run of Christmas craft fairs. This is to avoid the risk of one being ordered from the website that I've sold at a fair.

Because they are unique, I can't just get another one out of a stockroom. So for the time being they will be exclusive to my book signing events.
