My head is filled with stories. Sometimes I write them down - mainly thrillers and contemporary fantasy. Sometimes I sculpt them out of wood.

You missed out the Great Flomp, which is, of course, in a class of its own.

It's a detective novel set against a contemporary fantasy backdrop. Strong hook and series potential :)

Ella's eyes narrowed. The door swung open to reveal a huge man, built of snow, with a long nose and coal-black eyes. "Snowman, begone!" shouted Ella, raising her flaming hands. The stranger melted away until all that was left was a carrot and some cinders. "Safe at last," said Mum. #5ActFestiveStory

‘Oh dear,’ said Ella’s mother, blotting tears with her sleeve. ‘He said he would return one day.’ ‘Who?’ asked Ella. She’d never seen her mother in such a state. ‘Quickly,’ her mother said, gaze flitting to the door. ‘You’d better hide, before...’ Someone knocked three times. #5ActFestiveStory
