I have now written a
trilogy called Octavia, Octavia's War and Simon's
Inheritance.
Octavia is the story of an educational pioneer who taught in the '20s when they knew more about how children learn than putative teachers are allowed to know now in these examination ridden times. It was first published in hardback in October 2007 and the paperback came out in October 2008.
Octavia at War follows my heroine's adventures during WW2 when she and her school are evacuated to Woking (see my note on future events).
