Ian started his writing career with the successful tailsinthedales series set in the Washburn valley close to Harrogate aimed at a junior audience featuring Charlie the dog and his farm friends.

As well as his writing Ian also appears at school events, rural markets and educational events promoting children’s literature and also ghost writes short stories and poetry for others. The books are produced sustainably and the childrens books draw on Ian’s experience of living on a Dales farm. The books are a perfect gift, very reasonably priced and can be personalised and signed by Ian himself.
