About

Hi, my name’s Amanda and for those of you who are new to the site it began as a labour of love and creativity for several years, born from my desire to write children’s books ….then life happened …and things got de-railed! Since, as I now work as a hypnotherapist, it has become (my not so obvious) way to combine my fascination with all things related to psychology, human imagination and enjoyment of writing!

So I plan to continue blogging about the variety of reading material available, with a focus on the wealth of interesting and fun books out there to support children’s mental health and generally finding ways to encourage children to read through my “Books for Children Blog” and demonstrating just how reading extends beyond the pages of a book; and maybe in the process, one day I will convince everyone that zombies are totally pointless!

So you might see a poem or two pop up, some fun printables and DIY writing prompts for children, interesting links to book related articles and events; anything that will help you drive your children bonkers about reading via my Facebook page.
