There's something odd about 12 year old Toby, and it's not just his purple eyes or his amazing ability to talk to Klel, the dragon tied up in the castle courtyard. He's been sacked from every job at the castle and his new job as page to the mysterious Prince Blase is his last chance to avoid a cold winter in the poorhouse.

I was born in England, but have lived in New Zealand since I was four years old. My first novel The Dragon's Apprentice, was a finalist in the New Zealand Post Book Awards in 2003. My books can be enjoyed by anyone who likes fantasy that will export them to somewhere new for a while.
The Dragon's Apprentice has at last become available worldwide, gone are the days of having to order a copy from New Zealand and then waiting ages for the post to arrive from the other side of the world! No doubt the Kindle version of Toby & Klel's adventures will fire young imaginations around the globe, just as the paperback version did back in its homeland. Great stuff for younger readers!
I felt that this book did not live up to my expectations. I could not write a book so who am I to critise! It jumped too much within the plot without explanation. I could have been great as the basis of the story was sound but i would not buy the second book.
