I'm an established children's writer, based in the UK. I visit dozens of schools, libraries and literary events every year to talk about my work and to generate enthusiasm in young readers for books and all things literary. You can find more info at my website www.simoncheshire.co.uk or at the Skype An Author Network.

I have a couple of new books coming out this Spring (one hardback, one paperback) in the Saxby Smart series of detective stories for 8-12 year-olds. This series is already a big hit over here in Europe and it's rapidly taking off in the US too. I'm doing a blog tour to tie-in with the books, and I'm available to talk to classes via Skype during March and April.

If you'd like more information, do please contact me.
