Yes, they are all in the same city. But they are also key locations in the latest Monkey Magic book: The Ghostly Thieves of New York. I took the top-left picture in snowy Manhattan while doing research for the book.

"This is the marvellous third book in the Monkey Magic series. It is a magical story. A series of unexpected twists and turns keeps the reader fully engaged. This book also brings a great environmental message about conservation. It is a special treat for all young animal lovers. I strongly recommend this book to students aged eight to 13."

Huge thanks to rugby legend Sir Bill Beaumont, who kindly tested out my forthcoming picture book, Uncle Bill's Missing Tooth, on his grandkids.

Grandad Bill's assessment: "A really good book that will keep the children entertained."

​Wonderfully illustrated by Lizzie Nelson (my friend from school days), the story is about two children - Tom and Lucy - guessing the secret of why their uncle has a big gap in his gums. Perhaps idiot poachers stole Uncle Bill's tooth? Maybe he sold it? Or was it the rugby?

Note: Sir Bill never lost a tooth while playing rugby because he wore a mouthguard - a lesson there!

The book will be released in the summer of 2021.

The Ghostly Thieves of New York is out on May 1!
