***Wattys 2016 Winner Visual Storytelling Category*** A Wattpad Featured Story. Mouse Stew and Other Tales is a collection of rhyming stories for children about the adventures of five friends - Mouse, Monkey, Bear, Mole and an ethereal creature they call the Woodland Sprite. Some of the stories have fabulous illustrations drawn by my dear friend Sringkhala, more will be added soon. My dream is that one day they'll be published as illustrated picture books. I hope you enjoy reading them. They were tons of fun to write :) #3 in Poetry 4th August 2016

Light hearted verse bemoaning the state of dress in modern society. Inspiration taken from the 'Top Gun' quote in which a fighter pilot feels the 'need for speed', combined with the wonderful determination by many officers of the British Army to maintain standards of dress in the face of an alarming tidal wave of baseball caps, track suits and blue denim (aka 'the devil's cloth'). The horror, the horror!

Although, the majority of these poems are previously unpublished, a number were published in the 2011 anthology 'Heroes: 100 Poems from the new generation of war poets' published by Ebury press. The 'Heroes' poems were selected for publication by a panel that included Carol Ann Duffy (the UK Poet Laureate), Simon Rae (Radio 4's 'Poetry Please') and General Lord Dannatt The poem 'Care Under Fire' was featured on BBC TV's 'The One Show'. Please be warned: the poem 'Convoy Stop' contains what many regard as the most offensive word in the English language.
