Naomi Janes grew up loving stories and made up stories for her own children and grandchildren. A semi-retired teacher of English and Drama and an advocate of ‘family reading time', she has put pen to paper in honour of her mother's wish for her to do so, and to raise awareness of the gruelling physical and mental efforts of her son and daughter-in-law as they attempt to raise lots of money for children's charitable causes close to their hearts.
