The Tale of Jed & Jemima
Jed is a tiny mouse. Jemima is a big elephant.
And they’re the best of friends.
But when the other animals start teasing and chasing Jed every day, it’s hard to stay strong — even with a friend like Jemima. One day, Jed decides he’s had enough...
This gentle and funny story explores bullying, bravery, and the power of true friendship — with a delightful cast of farm animals, a lot of running, and a splashy surprise at the end!
A heartwarming tale for ages 3–7, perfect for reading aloud.

Turbo's Duckdom
Turbo is a small duck with big ideas.
After a little accident and a lot of thinking,
he decided the world could use better rules.
So he created Turbo’s Duckdom.
Everyone is welcome.
In Duckdom, the flag rises and falls with hope.
No one knows who raises it.
No one knows who lowers it.
The critters simply watch…
and act a little kinder when it’s low,
a little braver when it’s high.
Duckdom runs on hope.
Flag status changes daily.

Leaving Duckdom? Hysteria Lane Awaits...
Welcome to 'Hysteria Lane'.
Where the gardens are perfectly kept… and the secrets are perfectly buried.
Set in a quiet rural street on the outskirts of Auckland, New Zealand
- 'Hysteria Lane' follows a tight-knit community where appearances are everything
and danger is always just beneath the surface.
Each book in the series peels back another layer of this seemingly peaceful neighbourhood, exposing the crimes, betrayals, and buried traumas that threaten to tear the residents apart. From mysterious newcomers and past horrors to explosive acts of violence, every chapter brings a fresh wave of suspense, heartbreak, and twisted humour.
Perfect for fans of Desperate Housewives and psychological thrillers, this darkly addictive series blends cosy domestic life with chilling mystery. In Hysteria Lane, everyone has something to hide—and some secrets refuse to stay buried.
Hysteria Lane #3 - out soon!
