Blurb: Will is visiting his Auntie Caroline when he unexpectedly reunites with his old pals from the 1940’s, Frank and Charlie. After catching up, the trio set off to a gaming cafe.

Revamp!

Will’s War has had a brand new update both inside and outside!

Will’s War follows the adventures of Will, an ordinary boy with a love for Lego models and his loyal dog, Rollo. A heated argument with his mum leads Will to his grandad’s house, where he discovers an old air raid shelter in the back garden. Venturing inside, Will emerges to find himself in the midst of World War II London. Bombs fall, sirens wail, and Will faces the challenge of navigating a world far more dangerous than his own.

Stranded in the past, Will is evacuated to the countryside, befriending other children and learning to adapt to wartime life. Yet, the mystery of how to return to his own time looms large. Embarking on a daring journey back to London, Will uncovers hidden truths about his family and himself.

Coming Soon

Becky Bloomsfield for readers aged 8 – 11 years.

“As I enter the kitchen, I see Penny standing at the cooker, stirring a large pan of Bolognese sauce and now she’s wearing mum’s apron. I clench my fists as I catch Dad smiling at her, the way he used to smile at Mum, his sea blue eyes crinkling at the corners.“

Ever since Mum died life has been hard for eleven-year-old Becky Bloomsfield, but everything gets turned upside down when Dad brings home his new girlfriend, Posh Penny! 

Not only does Becky feel like her mum is being replaced, but Dad no longer seems to have time for her either! Everything becomes so much harder when she is accused of stealing and falls out with her best friend Cassie.

Will Becky get her dad and her best friend back? or has life as Becky knew it changed forever?

I’ve been working really hard behind the scenes getting this book ready for publication. It’s been great fun and hopefully soon you will get to meet 11 year old Becky and her younger brother Milo.

Book Review…

 

 

Whilst it is entirely lovely to get book reviews from children, it is also thrilling when adults read and enjoy your book.  Here is a snippet of a recent review. I have had to edit it as there are spoilers!

‘I finished my paperback of Will’s War yesterday and found it such a great adventure! He really went through the wringer after he got placed on a farm then was forced to work on the ship. I wondered if Will looks up Elizabeth, Frank and Charlie in the future and even visits them when they are elderly or their grandkids?

Thanks for a fab book!’

Will’s War is shortly to be published on Kindle (possibly even free for a short time – shhh) I will keep you all updated!
