Welcome
I’m a children’s writer based in Edinburgh, with 8 books already published, and another 6 due in 2012. The first book, a novella called Drawing a Veil, is published in February. And we’ve recently announced the title of the novel which will be published this year: Maze Running And Other Magical Missions. It’s the fourth and final book in the First Aid for Fairies series.
I’m also just getting to grips with the digital world – all my novels are now available as ebooks. But I still love the real world of bookshops, libraries and schools, and I love doing events to introduce readers to my books. You can find out where I’ll be on my diary page.
You can use this website to find out more about all my books, my writing, and my storytelling. I also write a child-friendly blog about my events and my writing, which you can comment on or link to. Or you can follow me on Twitter, @LariDonWriter.
You can also get in touch with me to invite me to visit your school, library or local arts festival to talk about my books and writing, and to share some of my favourite myths and legends. You can also, if you really want to, find out where I was born and what my cats are called. Have fun, and if you have any questions, please email me.
