My son, David, has arranged a few Author Events connected to the 2026 Bookfest, giving me the chance to present The Winkleys: A Test of Magic to my hometown crowd.

I believed it then. I still do. What I perhaps didn’t anticipate was how much of that time I was quietly accumulating material: the way people talk under pressure, the dynamics of a room, the moment when something clicks for a young person who didn’t think they had it in them.
