Welcome to my official website. If you've read any of my books, it tells you a bit more about them. If you haven't read them, you might be tempted to try one or two.

You'll find out, too, a bit about me, and meet some of the people who help me produce my books. There are some tips for those who would like to be writers, and some recommendations for great books to read.

There's another website that some of you might like to visit. Some years ago, I had the opportunity to make some wonderful journeys around Ethiopia in order to collect stories from Ethiopian storytellers. You can now read all the stories in both English and Amharic on www.ethiopianfolktales.com
