Hi everyone! I just wanted to share with you all some exciting news. I have just published my first children's book - Art the Spiffy Spider.

I normally work as a freelance editor and proofreader, so it has been an incredible experience creating something myself. I had the chance to stretch my imagination, work with an amazing illustrator, and experience the freelancing world from another viewpoint.

The book is written in rhyme and I have to say I am thrilled with the artwork. It is suitable for ages 4+ - great for parents to read to their children and for older children to read on their own. Even the adults I've shown it to have enjoyed it. :D

The Kindle version is now available on Amazon, pretty much worldwide. The printed version should be ready for sale hopefully by the weekend. The printed version will also be available at Amazon or through my CreateSpace store - https://www.createspace.com/4762650 I have also created a blog which focuses on the the book and my freelance work.
