My most notable work for adults is my translation of The Book of Margery Kempe from its broad Norfolk original of 1430. Above and below, actresses re-create Margery in agony and ecstasy, as featured in the film version.
At the quirky, childlike extreme of my range are children's books like Fisherman Fred, with his ever-changing shop sign ...
and The Gibleteers - the story of a girl whose bedroom ceiling starts dripping blood in the dead of night and who probes the secrets of the cannibalistic goblins who inhabit her loft.
My postbag is currently swelling as seasonal stresses build up.
I always reply but prioritise families in East Anglia.
