The Audio Book of The Magic Scales is now available on Audible and iTunes.
Let me know if you want a reviewer’s free promo code. This was a huge labour of love with over sixteen voices to act out. I reckon my English accent will give Dick Van D**e a run for his money!

Check out this great listen on Audible.com. When James's father disappears up on the moor, the whole village, including James's mum, thinks David Peck has simply 'done a runner'.

Climbing the Amazon Charts after a few days. See review

Although this book will probably be categorised as ‘Young Adult’ and end up in that section in many libraries I would recommend that many adults would enjoy the story, especially if they are ‘into’ fantasy. All the elements are there – adventure, magic, excitement, drama, together with that touch of humour so characteristic of this author, who has a fantastic imagination. All are woven together in a story packed with action which keeps the reader spell-bound to the very end. The characters are well written, distinct and believable – even the fantasy ones. Particularly intriguing is the wizard goldfish, Mendel. An important aspect of the book is that the hero, James Peck, lives with asthma. This is one of those ‘hidden’ disabilities that can be ignored but James (or rather Paul) shows how a boy deals with asthma while embarking on his quest. There are occasions, not overdone, when James’ asthma does come to the fore but with Mendel’s help, he overcomes those times. A well crafted book all round and a joy to read good writing. I would recommend you join James in his truly ‘fantastic’ quest to find his father.
