Good Evening,

It was lovely to meet you today at the Ironbridge Coracle Regatta. We love the story book about Konk. Jesse is currently making him colourful to cheer him up. Thank you so much. 

Kind regards,

Workshop

Today, 8th August 2024, I will be reading a story or two to a bunch of ankle-biters in a local library situated in the town of Broseley, Telford. I will read Konk the White Crocodile and a Barley’s Biscuit story called Ghostly Whispers on Wenlock Edge. We will make 3D models of Konk the White Crocodile in cardboard for the younger ones and the older ones can write their own Barley’s Biscuit story.

Recent Events

Unfortunately, I have been ill for some days and had to cancel a number of events. I am now fit and raring to go at my next event to be held inside of Broseley Library on Thursday 8th August (see events for details and map). I will read some of my stories and hold a 3D model making workshop. Everyone is welcome to this free event!

Telford author reveals his latest children's book featuring environmental message

A Telford author has released his latest children's book featuring a 'subtle yet powerful' environmental message.

The Bee Bea Sea is Roy Bradshaw's eighth children's book and is the second book in his series of Mr. B's Busy-Bea books.

His latest book was launched from inside Southwater Library in Telford on Tuesday

The former engineer with teaching experience in secondary and primary schools was inspired to pen the story by the 'quantity of plastic micro-particles in our seas, rising at an alarming rate'.

Author Roy said: "Add this to the fact that fish are eating the plastic micro-particles, thinking them as food, then this leaves a worrying prospect for the future health of our seas."

Mr. B’s Busy-Bea (The Bee Bea Sea)

My latest release, the second in a series of Mr. B’s Busy-Bea books, was launched yesterday 30th July 2024 from Telford Library in the Town Centre. Despite the relatively low turn-out (the weather outside was more persuasive to a seaside visit than a library one), I read one of my stories to a group of children and our photographs were taken by the local newspaper - The Shropshire Star. The event was also represented by Mr Paul Naylor, owner of the publishing company I use, called Media and You. I donated two copies to the library for their stock and the book is now widely on sale.
