Taste and See
Looking for a new book to read? The Taste and See section is a growing collection of first chapters and sample recordings to give you a taster of a whole variety of books, styles and authors. Take your time to browse then click on a book cover that piques your interest. Sometimes listening to the first chapter is all you need to help you decide on your next book.

A Note to Listeners, Teachers, Librarians and Fellow Authors:
This part of my website is a work in progress. With your help, it will grow.
If you are a children’s author (of know of any) who would like to have a picture book or the first chapter of a longer story recorded here as a taster for listeners, please get in contact.
The Story Corner is all about feeding the imagination and promoting good books (and their authors) to children. This is how we grow new readers and writers. I’d be delighted if other authors would like to join me in this mission by having a portion of their work showcased in The Story Corner.
I’d also be grateful if those of you who are teachers and/or librarians could point students to The Story Corner as a growing – and hopefully useful – resource.
Please spread the word!
