I’m excited to announce that my new children’s book is now available in local independent bookshops

If you head on down to two of my favourite places, Warwick Books or Kenilworth Books, you will find copies of The Underwater Club on the shelves.

A heartwarming adventure chapter book story for 5-8 year olds, the story dives into themes of swimming, marine animals, friendship and learning to just be yourself!

At swim squad, Amber is ALWAYS in trouble for diving to the bottom of the pool. What nobody else knows is that the lido is ACTUALLY a magical portal to an underwater world. And right now, she is needed for a VERY important mission. Hold your breath, kick your legs. It’s time to jump in and join… The Underwater Club!

Thanks to Mog, Pauline and Jane at Warwick Books for their support in stocking my first children’s book. I have very fond memories of Market Place in Warwick during my time on maternity leave after my son was born. The library, bookshop and coffeeshop next door were my safe sanctuaries when I was navigating being a new parent. If you haven’t already, pop in to the shop and also check-out their literacy festival this summer.

Kenilworth Books is not just a bookshop but a buzzing hub of literary inspiration – they host so many special events and support local and up-and-coming writers, it’s an absolute must-visit for anyone who loves reading!

Whether you buy my book or not, check out these creative spaces if you can and treat yourself to something.

Happy reading!
