The List Guernsey image

I've been a bit quiet on here lately, and this is the reason!

As Co-Founder of The List, I'm so excited to share Guernsey's guide to embracing local living and living life well. We believe in investing in your health and wellbeing and getting the most out of life... take a look!

Podcast

I've just recently discovered the joy of podcasts... and now I'm featured in one, thanks to "Female Potential". Please have a listen - I'd love to know what you think of the interview.

I enjoyed the experience, but isn't it strange when you hear you own voice played back... I'm sure I sound nothing like that!

A bit about me...

Tracey image

I've been writing children's stories in secret for years, building up the courage to share them with you.

I was born in Scotland and have lived in Guernsey for over 20 years. I was a mental health nurse, then worked in local business. My focus now is my family, my community.. and my writing! In my spare time you'll find me and my dog on one of Guernsey's gorgeous beaches.

Reading in schools

I just love this fabulous painting of Daisy the Hedgehog from the children at Pre-School Duval.

Thanks also to the Guernsey Press for their feature on my visit. Get in touch if you'd like me to come to your school to read my books, I'd love to meet you.

Guernsey Literary Festival

Taking part in last year's Literary Festival to launch "Sidney the Squirrel" was amazing.

It's sad, but understandable, that it was cancelled in 2020.... but I'm already looking forward to seeing what next year brings!

Free books

Free Books image

As a parent and a former mental health nurse I feel passionate about giving children the best possible start in life... so I have given free copies of my books to many primary schools, childcare professionals and charities here in Guernsey and the UK. I know this is just a small gesture but if my book helps even one child or family I'm genuinely happy with that!

Chat, Play and Read... SHOW ME!

Around 100,000 children under 5 in the UK never do learning activities with their parents, so the Literary Trust and the UK Government launched a campaign to help introduce reading into their daily routines.

It's a family affair...

There's no escape from my books in our house, even the dog get's involved! She seems to like reading Daisy the Hedgehog... or could it be the wee dog biscuit that she's interested in, can you spot it?
