I am a long retired primary school teacher. I write stories for my granddaughters who at present are 11 and 13. I actually have at least 35 stories to post. The Amanderella ones are the newest, but I have a whole series of ones called The Witch of the Dark Forest and a couple of ones for much younger children.

Have to be careful or I come up with ones like Billy Sugger and Posy Dillock and Gertie Noll and Bosey Dugger. All those are slightly off colour if you look at them in the correct way.

Number of stories

I have been writing them for well over 40 years, so I have accumulated a fair number of them. There are I think about 10 or so Dark Forest ones,20 or so others and at least a dozen Amanderella ones.
