Real worlds to explore!
I write information books.
Most of them are for children or teenagers, but some are
for adults too.
Do you want to find out about
ancient treasure, smugglers, shipwrecks or castles? Do
you want to travel to distant lands and meet the people
who live there? Why not discover nature’s secrets or
track wild animals in Africa? Perhaps you are interested
in the way our society works, or in debating the big
issues that are in the news. Read, ask questions, have
fun...
You will find my books in
homes, schools and libraries around the world. Click on
the sidebar to find out my past and present published
titles. You will find topic books, atlases,
encyclopaedias, guide books and biographies. You may
even find books that pop up, fold out, light up or make
noises! All of these books have exciting and colourful
illustrations.
Parents and teachers: my more
recent publications will still be in print, available
from your local bookshop, from book clubs or from online
retailers such as http://www.amazon.co.uk/
and http://www.abebooks.co.uk/.
Some books may be ordered online direct from the
publisher. Llyfrau Magma publications can be ordered
from
http://www.llyfrau-magma.co.uk/.
Many titles are available in overseas (non-UK) editions
and are published in many languages. Less recent titles
may still be found in libraries and are reissued in new
formats from time to time.
The world of publishing is
changing fast, so I also write text for websites as well
as blogs. Sometimes I work with galleries, museums and
heritage organisations. I provide text for their
exhibition panels, books, leaflets or trail guides.
These may be aimed at adults, or all the family.
Whatever the format – let’s
find out the facts!
