Welcome...
I've joined the ranks of Authors Abroad.
Being a children's author doesn't only involve writing novels, short stories and doing signings in bookshops. Writing for children, also involves doing school visits. So, I've been lucky enough to join an organisation called Authors Abroad. www.authorsabroad.com This company deals with schools on a regular basis and, I'm doing a lot of workshops with them. I also take schools on directly through my 'Schools Page,' on this website. So teachers; if you want to deal directly with me for a presentation and workshop, go to my 'Schools Page.' This is where all the information is, and on my 'Contact Page.' If you want me to do an Able Writers day at your school, pop over to Authors Abroad and they'll take your booking.
Readers Comments:
Wizards' Kingdom I loved your book, it was super - appealing to 9 - 12 year age bracket in particular, but... to anyone who enjoys this genre. The storyline was strong and original with tiny aspects of: 'The Hobbit'/'Lord of the Rings' - Gollum/Loof; - 'Kites & Seekers', 'Sleeping Beauty - spell cast on population. Character and setting description are vivid, providing clear visuals for the reader. Pace is fast and relentless right up to the final page - 'Two hour rollercoaster adventure', filled with surprises, action, friendship, magic, edge of your seat excitement with a hint of fear and sadness thrown in.
House of Darke - I have just finished reading the book and can't wait for the next one. Well done Colin on yet another fab book that takes the reader into the story, I didn't want to put it down - I hope there's more to follow.
