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.

Book review SABC  Marion Veal.png

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.
