We’re thrilled that the second book in our father-daughter children’s series, which was released in November 2025, has had such a lovely reception. And we’ve had a lot of fun along the way!
Set in vivid autumn, with colourful illustrations, The Prophecy (by Emmanuel Olympitis) sees a surprising new pupil at St James’s School for Squirrels; a red squirrel descended from the school’s legendary founder – as foretold by an ancient prophecy. Meanwhile, the animals of the park are swept up in a series of criminal heists against the nearby Royal Palaces, led by our favourite lovable rogue, Fabian Fox. Available from Amazon.co.uk.
Dad and I welcomed Hello! Magazine into our family home in Wiltshire for a glimpse at our creative dynamic and daily life in the countryside, surrounded by our own various animals!
With fantastic photography by Peter Flude:
We also enjoyed a series of exciting radio & podcast interviews together, where we discussed what it’s like to work as a father-daughter duo, and how the idea for Whispers in the Park originated from Dad telling me stories as a little girl.
Here’s a selfie of us outside the BBC broadcast house, after the ‘school run’ segment on BBC Radio London!
