Helping Authors to Get their Writing
'Publisher Perfect'
Tony D Triggs, Author
For adults, I’ve translated Margery Kempe’s broad Norfolk of 1430, making her famous Book – the first autobiography in English – a lively if sometimes embarrassing read. The stage adaptation The Fire of Love shows her torn apart by conflicting emotions (above and below).
At the quirky, childlike extreme of my range are children's books like Fisherman Fred, with his ever-changing shop sign ...
and The Gibleteers - the story of a girl whose bedroom ceiling drips blood in the dark and who probes the secrets of the cannibalistic goblins who inhabit her loft.
