We first met Aerynn in The Magician�s Apprentice when she hatched from her egg in a thunder storm on the slopes of The Cheviot hills.

This is the first big adventure for this young purple dragon as she travels to school on her first day.

The story follows Aerynn from waking, eating breakfast and having bugs clean her teeth to going down the steep hill side to her best friend�s farm.

Her journey then continues on a horse and cart to the local village school.

During the journey Aerynn discovers that she does have a special gift which she has to use to save her and her friends from deadly danger.

It was in 2006 when I decided to make a story book for my nephew, Luke, for his birthday when he was a little boy. I wanted to do it a little bit differently and to put some thought into it, I went for a snooze one afternoon. And the idea popped into my head: to make the story book about a colourful tree that grows magical fruits. So after waking up I grabbed my A4 notebook and biro and started drawing The Magical Fruit Tree, gave the story the same name and from there I made the rest up out of my imagination. I like to think that people can taste some Magical Fruit just by thinking about it, any flavour they like. With the power of their minds the readers can live the experiences that occur in the story and treasure them every time they read it. When my brother in law and my sister and their family lived in Dysart my sister, Jodi, said that ten people in Dysart wanted a copy of it, and that she and others cried when they read it. �Goodness me,� I thought, �if it has that kind of effect on people maybe I should get it published,� after my sister suggested I do so. The characters in the story are designed to capture the imagination and inspire the readers to feel what occurs in the story as they think about each experience. My nephew, Luke, was only at an early age when he first read the story book, but Jodi, his mum, said that he could understand it. Gee, if little kids can understand the story then teenagers and grown ups can too. I certainly know that I enjoy reading The Magical Fruit Tree and people I showed it to said it was beautiful. The names of the seven lands took some thought and because there are seven of them and there are seven days in the week, that�s what I named them after. For example, Mondayland, Tuesdayland, Wednesdayland, etc. So I hope you enjoy The Magical Fruit Tree story as much as I do.

Kind regards, Paul.

Author is such a grand title and one for which I do not feel at all worthy. Instead, I would consider myself an adventurer with a pen and notebook. My adventurous spirit started way back when I was just seven years old and found myself plonked on the back of a rather large pony called Dawn. I had pestered my parents for horse-riding lessons, and now I sat shivering with fear and contemplating the sanity of my demands. As a shy, reticent, little girl, I did not have the courage to say �actually I do not like this�. So week after week, month after month, little by little, I lost my fear, and an adventurous spirit was born with me. Of course, horse riding has little to do with sailing, but for me, the experience of the former gave me the courage for the latter. Riding an unpredictable, frisky, jumpy mare has many parallels to sailing an unpredictable, frisky, jumpy yacht. Believe me when I tell you a yacht has a mind of its own. Sailing fi rst entered my life in my teens when I had the privilege to crew on the Th ames sailing barge Th alatta. In my twenties, I became a deck monkey on friends� yachts and enjoyed the thrill of racing in the Solent on the south coast of England. I gained my Competent Crew certifi cate whilst taking part in the Baltic leg of the Tall Ships Race. Working as a secretary for the army at the time, I was invited to join the crew on Sail Training Yacht British Soldier, a magnifi cent 55-foot Camper & Nicholson. I briefl y co-owned a small day-sailor Pindari and cut my teeth on the perils of crossing the busiest shipping lane in the world, the English Channel. Sailing took a back seat in my early forties when I was gripped by the travelling bug. I had Australia in my sights, and I spent many a happy month soaking up the sights, sounds, and sheer vastness of that wonderful continent.I realised then that the world has a lot more to off er me. Yearning for more, I was a great believer in the saying �a change is as good as a rest�. I had been a secretary, a personal assistant, a hairdresser, and a professional tennis coach and have recently qualifi ed as an approved driving instructor. I was a highly profi cient horse rider, a crazy snow skier, a scuba-diver, and a tennis player. What more could I possibly achieve? Well, I have just added to that list � a circumnavigator.
