Tony, has found time to encourage other writers as chairman of Anderida Writers of Eastbourne – and won three of their awards.

Tony's Dedication:
Tony has dedicated his books to the memory of his parents Mabel and Dennis Flood and his grandparents Winnie and Reggie Burwash, who brought him up with so much love and kindness. They, together with his lovely wife Heather and son James, have been an inspiration to him as a writer.

Heather Flood has written several books for children and her latest much acclaimed fantasy PURPLE MIST – AN OUT–OF–THIS–WORLD ADVENTURE! Is for both children and adults!

Her wonderful characters have been compared to some of those in Julia Donaldson's The Gruffalo and Heather has reached No.1 in her Amazon top 100 best sellers category!

She began writing by reviewing theatrical productions for the Richmond and Twickenham Times newspaper series and, decided to write children's books, mainly for her grandchildren Gabrielle, Ashlee and later Sam. It was Gabrielle's love of the colour pink which prompted Heather to create Mousey Mousey and the Witches' Spells, about a delightful little lady mouse whose pink possesions and whole world are turned upside down by a naughty witch.

This was so successful that Heather followed up with Mousey Mousey and the Witches' Revenge, Mousey Mousey and the Witches's Secrets and The Giant Sticker Monster and Other Children's Stories.

Heather had previously given husband Tony the idea for his first novel, Secret Potion, a fantasy adventure story for all ages.

She has benefited from belonging to Anderida Writers, where she won three successive awards.

Heather, a former secretary, likes trying new things and has taken on many challenges. These include helping her first husband to build two houses, climbing the Great Wall of China and making wedding and birthday cakes.

Heather's Dedication:
I would like to dedicate my books to my wonderful husband Tony, who inspires me every day, and our gorgeous grandchildren Gabrielle, Ashlee, Sam, Zachary and Harry.
