Mundane Insurance

Manufacturing industries are a common knowledge as are the likes of the motor car, television, foodstuffs and electrical goods that exist around us every day and are forcefully advertised. Banking too but it is only true to a lesser degree regarding insurance because if canvasing the average person in the street about insurance they would think only about their life insurance, health insurance, motor cover, house and contents, pet plan insurance and so on. Put like that, it is all very wearisome and therefore hardly a subject worth writing about, or is it? That was certainly the author’s impression of insurance even up to the point of moving into the financial sector from manufacturing industry.

Pursuing the subject a step further, hazarding a guess, if those very same people were quizzed regarding the types of people they imagined are employed in insurance they would probably describe their insurance broker or simply a voice at an insurance call centre. This account therefore will, in all probability, dispel the notion that all insurance dealings are routine and in the main, predictable as did an international group of young insurance delegates at a Middle East seminar, many of whom were totally unaware that the insurance industry’s activities were so diverse.

My Cat Monroe Has No Tail

Not everyone is the same!  

In our human and animal world, being different means looking physically different to other humans and animals while still having the same need for love, understanding AND ACCEPTANCE. This book explores how Monroe the cat, who has no tail, is the same inside as other cats: her difference is that she has no tail! 

My Doodle Goes On Holiday

Doodle and her best friend go on their first adventure together, this time on a holiday. They encounter laughter, new friends, and a few accidents along the way.

The two best friends are trusted to go away for the very first time alone and no one knows quite what to expect.

200 miles away from home… 5 days, 4 nights, 3 massive suitcases, 2 teenagers and 1 wheelchair… What could possibly go wrong? Oh, and also, one credit card from Dad!

Although Doodle has Rett syndrome, it does not mean she cannot live a life like anyone else. She enjoys her holidays and having a laugh with her best friend just as much as anyone else, probably even more, and on this trip of a lifetime, she certainly does that!

Rett syndrome is a unique genetic condition caused by the X chromosome having an abnormality. This then causes the brain to develop slightly dissimilar to other brains, which could leave some people without any speech and the ability to walk.

My Doodle is a Little Different

Some people might say that my Doodle is a little different from the other boys and girls, as she has a disability. The only difference I see, her smile is the most beautiful thing in the world and you get lost in her eyes…

This book is about a young girl with Rett Syndrome who has been a massive inspiration to many people’s lives. The book has been written to try and help others gain more knowledge about Rett Syndrome and finding a cure, as well as helping families in the meantime.

Rett syndrome is a unique genetic condition caused by the X chromosome having an abnormality. This then causes the brain to develop slightly dissimilar to other brains, which could leave some people without any speech and the ability to walk.

The word ‘Rett’ does not define my Doodle, she is just like you and me….

The message of the book is to show young children with disabilities that they should be proud of who they are and that a disability doesn’t define anyone as a person. We all are disable, one way or the other. If everyone was to be the same, then the world would be a boring place.

My Doodle Turns into a Mermaid

Doodle and her best friend go on another adventure together, this time when they go swimming in the sea. They encounter many surprises during their trip to the sea, and some that take Rosie by complete surprise!

The two best friends go and spend the day at the beach to play in the sea, but it is a chance for Doodle to show Rosie two very big secrets.

‘As Doodle was swimming away from Rosie, Rosie noticed the strangest thing… Suddenly, the splashes of Doodles kicks turned into gentle, calm little movements and waves which were swaying peacefully behind her.’

Although Doodle has Rett Syndrome, it does not mean she cannot live a life like anyone else. She enjoys swimming as it gives her the opportunity to use her legs, which she finds difficult to do on land.

Rett Syndrome is a unique genetic condition caused by the X chromosome having an abnormality. This then causes the brain to develop slightly dissimilar to other brains, which could leave some people without any speech and the ability to walk.
