Great little trailer for Sabina and the Cats of Rome!

Check out this fun little trailer for Sabina and the Cats of Rome!

The illustrations in the trailer are from the book, and created by the fabulous Laura Wood, but the photos are ones I took myself in Rome some years ago–including the photos of some Roman cats that were hanging around at the spot where Julius Caesar was assassinated (there was a wreath at the spot marking where it was).

Fabulous little trailer for The Key to Rome!

There’s a fabulous little trailer for The Key to Rome, my forthcoming middle-grade historical mystery novel, now up on the Christmas Press You Tube channel. The book’s coming out in May and I’m really looking forward to its release. It’s been many years in the making, ever since I found a Roman key-ring in a London antique shop. I’ve written a bit about it here but will write a bit more about it later. But today, do enjoy the trailer!

Inspired by The Ghost Squad…

It’s been a year since the release of The Ghost Squad, and right now I’m working on an exciting collaborative creative project inspired by the book, with the extraordinary artist Angus Nivison, under the auspices of Arts North West and the New England Regional Art Museum. We had a great meeting about it yesterday and it’s inspired me to put up again the stunning trailer for The Ghost Squad, created by Whiptail Productions. More details on the collaborative project soon!
