Welcome to RAD Books Publishing

Self-published books written for my children while living in Australia from 2016 to 2020.  Inspired by the coastal landscape and my family's journey abroad as an expatriate family.

You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children.


Madeleine L'Engle

A fairytale for this generation...

A mermaid. A fairy. A past they cannot escape.

Princess Via loves her life but has always fel different from the rest of the mermaids. She longs for her father to take her seriously, and yet she’d rather spend her days frolicking with dolphins and talking with sea urchins. 


Then a sudden storm rips Via from her home in the sea and drops her into the land of forest fairies—a place she only knew existed in stories.Via mourns the loss of her life under the sea but the fairies are more than willing to teach the new fairy their ways, from eating their earthy food to flying with her spectacular wings. 


But there's another storm heading their way... A sinister presence lurks nearby, determined to destroy both fairies and mermaids. 


As the two worlds of sea and sky collide, their struggle intensifies in the shadow of their intertwined past. Will the mermaids and fairies be brave enough to stand together? 


The adventure continues...

One girl. Two princesses. A prophecy they must face together.

In the wake of Florid's wrath, the merking is dead, and the merqueen is in a deep sleep no one can wake her from. Via is torn between her life with the merfolk and her new life with fairy wings. Her need to bring Florid to justice is her guiding force, and the fairies embark on a journey that will take them across regions unknown, into the realm of the Old World.

The daughter Florid raised alone is restless and tired of her mother's tirades against fairies and merfolk. She has played her mother's game for too long and finally had enough.

A prophecy is revealed, and the presence of ancient souls have returned to help guide the young princesses. But the freshly restored bonds of the sea and air are delicately woven.

As connections are forged between worlds, Via wonders where she belongs out of the sea. With her new friends by her side, they will pursue Florid and hold her accountable, no matter the cost.

Short and sweet...

A misjudged tiger. A leprechaun's pot of gold. A dreamy trip to the sea...

Everyone likes a good story. And sometimes, we want a short story that leaves us wondering about things we thought we knew to be true.

These stories were inspired by my children and developed with one simple purpose at my son's request: keep them short and sweet.

So, like the stories in this book, I'll keep it simple and to the point. Happy reading!
