The new website is live! I hope you like it. Click around and see what you can find. Once you've done that go and buy one of my Dino books here! -www.amazon.co.uk
The Dino books are all about caveboy Charlie Flint, his friends Billy "The Boulder" Blackfoot, James Tusk and of course his pet dinosaur Steggy!
There are currently four books in the series. Read all about them below!
Cave boy Charlie Flint is fed up with dinosaurs leaving poo all over his home town of Sabreton. When he finds his brand new club covered in dinopoo, it's the final straw. Something must be done – so Charlie invents Dinopants!
Caveboy Charlie Flint has come up with a wonderful new invention – a loo for dinosaurs. Their poo is washed away underground, so getting rid of a rather smelly problem.
It’s a hot summer in Sabreton and Charlie creates a tasty fizzy drink for the dinosaurs to enjoy and to keep them cool. But there is an unexpected side-effect: very smelly dinoburps.
Caveboy Charlie Flint invents a fantastic new game that humans can play with their pet dinosaurs - dinoball!

I am an experienced workshop leader and storyteller. I use improvised comedy techniques to get the most out of your children. My workshops are fun, interactive affairs which get children up on their feet and the room filled with laughter and creativity.
I have lead workshops at the Edinburgh Festival, as part of London's Kids Week in the West End, at The Central School of Speech and Drama and in theatres, book shops and schools up and down the country. I have a full CRB check in place.
I am happy to tailor my workshops to your needs and budgets and have extensive experience of working with both adults and children, but a few suggested outlines are available in my workshop pack available to download below.

Quotes
It was fantastic. He ripped a page out of the dictionary and said don't look. It was very funny.
JP Year 4
Ciaran was very humorous, because he wrote funny books. He was the writer of the Legend of Dick and Dom on CBBC. It is one of the most popular channels in our class. The author has given me some great ideas for writing my own books. JD Year 3
My favourite part was when he made up stories with us and told them in a funny way. I am going to write my own story now about monsters. EM Year 3
Ciaran came in to school this week and spend 40 minutes or so in each class. He talked about how to approach story writing and in particular how to think and expand on an idea. The lesson was humorous and a thoroughly useful experience. WV Year 5
It was very interesting and has definitely improved my writing skills. Ciaran was enthusiastic, amusing and captivating. His book is well written and laugh-out-loud funny. AS Year 4
Ciaran was inspirational! RM Year 6
