Where creativity is always at home.
Dear Browser,
Welcome to , a collection of my music, art and literary stuff. Over the years, I have completed a range of homebaked projects. I hope my endeavours will inspire you to have a go, and bring those ideas, dreams and concepts to life.
For creative chat, why not join the forum and share your artistic experiences. Do you have advise for artists, writers, musicians or teachers hoping to bring creativity into the classroom? Or suggestions for a great website?
Best regards
Clive

Reviews
'Iris was very enjoyable to read. It kept me entertained... an interesting plot.
I read many things that I didn’t expect. I especially enjoyed the mix between reality and fantasy. The setting was original and unique, which pulled me in.
I was very intrigued by it... the time setting was modern. I was especially impressed by C.A.'s ability to describe objects and backgrounds in depth…. a strong plot and detail. Most of all, it is extremely original. A great achievement.' (Costantino, aged 15)
'My 8 and 11 year old loved the book. A challenging read... A page turner that kept us enthralled all summer. I would highly recommend Iris.'
(J.Bennet, parent)
'Your book is a great mix of thill and adventure and as the story builds on, I am amazed at how well you got me to read on. You got me to stay up till 11pm because of how hard it was for me to put down the book. Three words: Thrilling,Gripping and Hilarious.P.S. I tried out your tips on writing and they really help!'
(Nav)
'I really enjoyed it!'
(Poppy, aged 11)
I read Iris with great enthusiasm and found the story line utterly spellbinding. Not only has the main heroin my name but also the same adventurer spirit which made it a very personal read. And I loved the ideas of having the cats as our stars. All in all a wonderful read not only for teenagers, and an exciting page-turner. Now waiting for the movie.
(Iris B, grown-up)
