And then there were three

23rd December 2020 By James Hewison Leave a Comment

This is an image of three books. The first book is called "Beware the Bear" and shows a boy marching along a tunnel singing. The second books is called "Shadow Creepers" and shows a boy peering over the edge of his bed. Under the bed is a pair of blue eyes looking up at him. The third book is called "Behind the Twisted Fence". It shows a girl climbing a fence. Her hair is glowing and extends outwards in tendrils which sparkle and illuminate the sticks and twigs that make up the fence.

Books for ages 6-12 I made a little video. It’s a really quick summary of my three published children’s books in under 20 seconds. Want to know more about these stories? Check out these great books for ages 6-12.

Bright light shining from inside a book onto the face of a man in the dark

Growing up, I was resistant to reading fiction. Books seemed only mildly interesting and I had so much energy to burn. I couldn’t just sit around reading fiction for hours on end. I was much more interested in rounding up a few friends to play a ball sport, or watch a movie, or take my […]
