The star of the show is, without a doubt, Roo herself (hence the photo of her and not me)!  I'm the creative mind behind the enchanting adventures of Roo. Ever since I was a child, I've been an avid reader with a dream of writing children's books. Inspired by Roo , I attempt to bring to life the heartwarming tales of our adventures together.

Living on the edge of a fantastic woodland country park, Roo and I love exploring the great outdoors, finding inspiration in every corner. With a passion for storytelling and a deep love for animals, I hope to continue creating delightful stories that captivate children of all ages.

When I'm not writing, I love spending time with her family, indulging in her love for nature, and, of course, sharing snacks with Roo (except for chocolate, I don't share chocolate, so don't ask.) :-)

Thanks

Jane & Roo.

The Review Dilemma: Why Is It So Hard to Get Book Feedback? As an indie

As an indie author, one of the most challenging parts of publishing isn’t writing, illustrating, formatting, or even marketing—it’s getting reviews. Despite pouring your heart into your book, navigating the world of algorithms and visibility often comes down to something as simple as a star rating or a few kind words from a reader. And yet, getting people to leave those reviews can feel like an uphill battle.

Advanced Reader Copies (ARCs) are often suggested as a great way to generate early...
