2020: 1. Two poems placed in Jackie Hosking's annual Spring Competition for Rhyming Poems (Pass It On): The Laughing Clown came first, and The Good Ship Gumtree received an Honourable Mention.

           2. My poem Crossing the Bounds was published in Bloomsbury UK's Fire Burn, Cauldron Bubble - Magical Poems.

           3.  Stormcloud Publishing's Christmas eBook included my poem: The Witch's Christmas Tree.

​

October 2019: Three of my texts were included in the Creative Kid's Tales 'flip book' anthology: Things That Go Bump/ Enchanted:

A Penny's Weight of Gold (short story); The Sea Dog (picture book text); and A Dragon of my Acquaintance (poem).

 

August 2018: My picture book text "The Heart of the Forest" was shortlisted and then awarded third prize in the Writers' Unleashed competition. The judge said: The third place winner is a completely different style of story. Poetic and metaphorical, fairytale like, "The Heart of the Forest" takes us to a world with a heart at its centre, and explores what happens when we experience loss and absence and also the consequences of trying to fill those voids.  Simply and beautifully told, it was thought-provoking and unusual. A good combination.

​

July 2018: My short story "The Tree Witch" was published in the northern Autumn issue of The Caterpillar magazine for children.

​

December 2017:

7th Place: Jaz Stutley for "Bad Vlad" in the Creative Kids Tales Aliens, Animals and Amazing Places 2017 eBook Anthology competition.

​

May 2017: Two new e-books will be published soon with stories of mine:
