Some reviews of The Search for Donkey Paradise

From an educational point of view

"I liked the way the author used a variety of words that will extend the readers vocabulary and provide good talking points.

There is an educational link to hedgehogs (nocturnal and food source), the main learning point being that things are not always better somewhere else. I think that’s really evident. I liked that some of the donkeys turned back, the message being that if you feel unsafe or change your mind that you can always go back.

I liked it, it reminded me of one of my favourite authors as a child, Dick King-Smith.

Thank you for sharing it with me." 😊

J. Green (5 star rating on Amazon)

Brilliant story for all ages

I really enjoyed this book and loved that the donkeys in it are named after the real ones at the Donkey Sanctuary on the Isle of Wight. I also loved the hidden message about being happy with what you already have.

World book day 6th of March 2025

BBC Radio Solent interview

On Thursday, March 6th, as part of World Book Day, my grandson Lucas and I were interviewed live on Radio Solent about our book.

Lou Hannan was fantastic, and the interview went well.

I was super proud of the way Lucas spoke and presented himself at such a young age.


Brilliant morning talking to the pupils of Wellstead Primary school in Hedge End.

School visit

I had a fantastic time at Wellstead Primary school recently, after being invited in as their guest speaker. They made me feel very welcome, and years 1, 2 and 3 were both attentive and exceptionally well behaved.

Many thanks to the organisers and to all those who participated.

Stall at The Police family & friends day

We booked a stall for the show thinking that we would be outside near the kiddies corner, but the weather had other ideas. In the end we were positioned inside where we had a lovely dry day, sold some books, and met lots of friendly people.
