From Dust 

mockup-of-a-customizable-paperback-book-placed-against-a-colored-backdrop-3435-el1.png

“From Dust” is a collection of poems, illustrations and art that tap into the wonder of human existence. This collection explores how suffering can be the beginning of hope, the milestone for change and the door-opening for personal transformation. The poetry invites the reader to explore philosophies of kindness, sensitivity, strength and more.

A lens into the inner world; one that hopefully garners healing of mental health, feelings of isolation, loneliness and grief, and puts forward a trajectory to acceptance, peace and joy.
 

Don't Drive Through the Pothole in Town

Ah! The potholes of Africa. Who knows what adventures they'll bring. A ferry on a crocodile? An ice rink for a little while? A watering hole? A swimming pool? A route to meet a Kangaroo?"

Brief life advice summed into short questions and answers. A quirky, pocket-sized book full of wisdom; a philosophical musing between 'she' and the trees. 

Prince Nige Finds A Bride

Prince Nige Finds a Bride Front cover.jpg


In a Roald Dahl rhyming-style story, a rather picky prince goes in search of a Bride. Unusual twists leave one wondering if Prince Nige will ever find a suitable princess, but with the help of his wizzo assistant, Melly, anything seems possible!

The storyline is fun with a subtle moral lesson to be understood. Recommended as a storybook for age 3-8 and as a self read book for ages 9+ (all the way to adults, who will be just as entertained by Prince Nige's ridiculous quest)

Olive & Her Stars

A touching and deeply-felt story about how we are watched over by our loved ones even when they have passed away; how they are in everything; the waves of the sea, the sound of the wind and the kiss of the sun.

 

Dedicated to two special grandpas - Rosie & Brent, and commissioned as a story for their granddaughter, Olive.
