Just a few more days until ‘Isabella, Rotten Speller’ will be landing at Amazon!

This will be the second book I’ve published and although it’s another rhyming picture book, I think it’s quite different from the first. The setting is certainly different: the story takes place in the mythical town of Rhyme, where everything and everybody is made up of letters and words (which probably goes some way to explaining why the illustrations took me more than a year to complete!)

The story tells of the devastation caused to this word-based nation when young witch Isabella, a lovely girl but a rotten speller in every possible sense of the word, accidentally lands there.

It’s fundamentally daft, but might pass as educational – there are hundreds of letters to spot, puns, rhymes and interesting words, hopefully for both children and adults, to enjoy. There are even some rather good anagrams, courtesy of my friend Matthew.
