In this video, I’m thinking about the Lunar Eclipse that covered North America on Monday 8th April 2024 and how that relates to the book I’m writing at the moment and children’s literature generally.
And I wrote a poem! First for years… why? what’s it about? you’ll have to watch to find out.
In this video I show you how I go about creating a character of the President of the United States for my children’s book trilogy, Generation Moon.
I explain my thinking and process. I’ve not got her character yet, in fact, as I was editing the video I had another idea for her.
The story is set in a very near future where, I think, a younger, female president in a very likely choice. The current candidates surely can’t have too many miles left on the clock!

We took last week off for visiting, mostly to see my new granddaughter, who has got me thinking about how kids not only read books but inspire them with the things they do.
That seems to link with the book I’m listening to at the moment – Wise Animals: How Technology Has Made Us What We Are by Tom Chatfield
We also went to the Abba Voyage “Hologram” show in London, which was spectacular, but I was a bit distracted, trying to work out how they did it! – Let me explain how I think it works!
