Friday March 6th : I'm reading my poems at the launch of South Bank: a brand new poetry magazine focusing on new poems about London. Come and hear me read, buy the mag., have a coffee, hang out. See you there!
My story is, 'Samir Hakkim's Healthy Eating Diary'. The Anthology was shortlisted for UKLA Award 2008
It took me a while to find writers who could bring alive the experience of being an asylum-seeker, but I did it in the end. (The stories) are fiction but they're grounded in reaity. Some of the writers have been asylum-seekers, while others have worked with people who have been in that position.
Tony Bradman, Editor, Give me Shelter.
A seriously important book.
Books for Keeps.
My story is, TOMMO AND THE BIKE TRAIN
This book consists of eight short stories by different established authors on climate change. Each of the stories...bring issues alive and make them personal in the way only fiction can....and they often offer hope as the children portrayed take action to make changes.... an insight into the art of story telling.
Writeaway review 2010.
Peppermint Ward, a story of children with cancer.
This book shows what happens in a hospital in a simple matter of fact way. It's honest but very reassuring. It should be very comforting and helpful to all children in this situation.
