My writing

Adventure, friendship, humour and heart

I love writing stories that make children smile, spark their imaginations and encourage a love of reading that stays with them long after the final page.

Where stories begin

Inspired by life, family and a very special dog

Sharing stories with children has been one of Doreen’s favourite parts of teaching for over twenty years. She also loved reading and making up stories with her own two children when they were young.

Her first children’s book was inspired by her much-loved golden retriever, Skye, whose personality and adventurous spirit helped bring the story to life.

First in a planned series

Tails of Courage

Doreen’s first children’s book will be published on 28 September 2026. Visit the book page for the latest news and buying information.
