Hello and welcome to my website.
I have always loved wildlife and books. As a child I read constantly and scribbled stories about Lassie and Daktari, as an adult I wrote about my favourite TV cowboys, but it was the arrival into my garden of a beautiful fox I called, Vix that led to the publication of my first book, Vix, the Lockdown Fox. I then published a memoir of my time with Vix entitled Vix, My Lockdown Friend.
​
I hope, through my books, I will encourage people of all ages to love and care for wildlife. I am using the money raised from the sale of my books and merchandise to support wildlife charities.
​
I am a science teacher and my love of the natural world has seen me travel in search of whales, bears and other amazing wildlife but I am also happy to sit in my garden watching the birds and listening for the arrival of a visiting cat or fox.

Sue Atkins Parenting Coach Book Review
Thank you to Sue Atkins for this fabulous review of
Melody's Wildlife Haven.
Melody's Wildlife Haven
is here!
I have exciting news!! 😄
Let me introduce you to Melody, a young girl, struggling with the loss of her mother, starting a new school and moving to a new home.
One day a fox says 'Hello' and life for Melody will never be the same again as she and her dad turn their garden into a wildlife haven.
It is out now on Amazon in paperback and on Kindle.
It's a chapter book about a young girl and her dad who build a wildlife garden.
it has a c...a....t
It has foxes and bees and wildflowers.
It has laughs and tears and drama.
I do hope you like it.
You can read it to any age but I'd say 7 to 12 would be the target audience and adults like me.
