The Countdown Begins…
The countdown to publication has begun with fourteen sleeps to go! Eve and the Runaway Unicorn is the first in a four book series called Keeper of the Crystals.
Keeper of the Crystals is an adventure fantasy series full of secrets and mystery. Eve and Oscar, two unlikely friends, accidentally tap into the power of crystals. They are thrust into different and dangerous worlds where unicorns, tigers, dragons and panthers communicate with people and where native communities and their way of life are under threat.
What are the secrets of the crystal keeper and why does Eve have these powers?
I wrote the first book for my youngest daughter Elkie after she begged me for her own real live unicorn. I figured this was as close to the real thing that I could give her!

Keeper of the Crystals
My new series Keeper of the Crystals is being released in June with New Frontier.
It’s a fantasy adventure following two friends Eve and Oscar as they journey into different worlds.
There are four books in the series – ages 7-9 years.
Here’s the cover of book one – Eve and the Runaway Unicorn.
I love it!
The lure of the forbidden attic in her Gran’s house
proves too much for Eve and her friend Oscar.
They sneak upstairs to explore. When Eve picks
up a small crystal figurine of a unicorn it acts as
a portal into another world. Eve and Oscar find
themselves in the desert of Panthor. How will they
ever get home again?
Four days and counting…
…until The Kaboom Kid series is officially released!
