My lovely mum, Annie, has been writing children’s books for as long as I can remember. When I was little we loved to read together before I went to bed so she started writing her own stories for us to read. 

She’s always wanted to be a children’s author and has a pile of stories that are just waiting to be given some life!

In 2023 I started secretly illustrating them, determined to get her first book on sale. After months of illustrating, marketing, proofing and website designing I finally had a book ready to sell to the world. When Christmas came around, Annie had a very special present under the tree that year as I finally surprised her with her first published book, Wabi Sabi.

​

The next book in our series, 'Joanna's Teddy', will be making an appearance very soon!

 

There are endless tales from The Carmalyn Woods so follow along on our journey.
