Hearing it from the horse's mouth

It was all very well having written something I was proud of, but what would children make of it? After all, my story obviously has to appeal to my target age group. So l asked several friends to read it to their kids.

Luckily, 'what you see is what you get' with children, so at least I knew I'd get an honest opinion. To my relief they all enjoyed it - and they even laughed out loud.

Success! It was time to find a publisher.....
