Born in Kingston Upon Hull in Yorkshire and now retired I wanted to write a book for children that was both educational but also humorous – a book that captures a child’s imagination whilst also making them laugh. I hope that children and adults alike enjoy performing The Magical Dance and I am sure that it will bring many a laugh to parties and summer barbeques, especially if someone manages to complete the dance in full! If you do enjoy Tommy and the Magical Dance I am already working on a sequel which I hope to have published soon.
