THE XENITHA TRILOGY
This is a children's fantasy adventure story. Written to appeal both to boys and girls. I also created my own fantasy creatures for the books, which I enjoyed doing immensely.

Bazelfangs
Bazelfangs are similar to a wolf but are around eight feet in height and walk on their hind legs. They have saliva dripping fangs and are extremely ferocious.

Ignatia Birds
The ignatia birds are quite large probably similar to a phoenix, they have fiery red feathers which possess healing powers. When placed upon wounds they will be cured without leaving scarring of any kind. They can talk and are often used to take messages from one settlement to another. The main ignatia bird character in these books is Ezra.

Yarkas
Yarkas are despicable dim-witted creatures; they originally come from the swamps in Foley, a place in the far north of Xenitha. They have no morals, and care about nothing, not even their own kin. The only thing that yarkas are any good at apart from treachery is that they are rather talented bowmen.”

Gillyweasels
Gillyweasels are very small creatures which have over-large heads, bat-like ears, and very large eyes, which give them the appearance of always being in total fear. They walk upright on two legs which are very thin, as are their arms, and they also have long thin tails, similar to a rat’s.
Their skin is a sort of taupe colour and they have long hair which is so fine that you can see their scalps through it. The male and female look so alike it is difficult to tell them apart, apart from the fact that the male gillyweasels wear ragged ill-made trousers and tops, and the female wear equally ragged dresses. They have claws on their hands and feet for digging as they live in underground burrows. The main gillyweasel character in these books is Zale

Kibblekytes
Kibblekytes look like seahorses except with legs, and have large dragon-like wings where the fins would have been. They are golden brown in colour and are the size of shire horses, but at the same time they look gentle and friendly, with a majestic look about them and are as graceful in the air as on land.
These magnificent beasts have an amazing ability; they can multiply by dividing themselves into two, thereby giving twice as many kibblekytes when the need arises. When they are double up and become tired they turn from their golden brown colour to reddish brown, which is a warning that they can not stay doubled up for much longer. Also when they are doubled up they have to stay close together and if one is killed, they will both die—the original and its second. As soon as their services are no longer require they merge back together, becoming one again. The main kibblekyte characters in these books are Kina and Kara.

My friend Bella, has just told me that her son took my first book Xenitha to school and his teacher asked if he could borrow it. He loved it and so did his 12yr old daughter. Now the school is buying 3 copies. How cool is that?
Also Bella gave a copy to her daughter’s school. I know this is not a lot but it is a start :o)
