The Harwich School, Essex

Ray Gallagher, English Teacher, The Harwich School:
"I would like to thank you for visiting our kids in Harwich. You really created a wave of interest and enthusiasm among the pupils. The pupils were inspired by your presentation, your writing and your illustrations. The personal insight you gave as regards your personal background and your inspirations for your stories really influenced and inspired the kids. They are at that age when they start to think maybe they can't be the footballer or actor that they want to be, but I think you provided a realisation that you can succeed at something if you put your mind to it and work hard, irrespective of age and other obstacles."

Andrew Dace, Librarian at The Harwich School:
"Thank you for visiting us last week, we all had a wonderful time and really enjoyed it. I think the kids were really enthused by it all. Hopefully your visit has inspired them to read and write more, I know as a lapsed writer I’ve been inspired to start writing again!"
