I write about my adventures in the Ted & His Time-Travelling Toilet books. Now I'm writing about writing about my adventures in the Ted & His Time-Travelling Toilet books. Cool huh? You can get in touch by email (below), Instagram (below), making a big noise (bellow), falling asleep (pillow), or greeting me (hello).
When Ted accidentally discovers (don't ask!) that his toilet allows him to travel back in time to any point in history, his (slightly soggy) discoveries are only just beginning. Join Ted on his fully immersive adventure into Roman life, as he flushes himself back to ancient times to find out all he can for his half term project from the Romans themselves!

"Wowsa! My 11 year old son is dyslexic and a very reluctant reader, I have tried many authors and topics to ignite his enthusiasm for reading. Funnily enough, as soon as he started reading all about Ted’s toilet, I heard fits of giggles and saw a smile on his face as he pliers through the book! Loving seeing my son read for pleasure, which I felt would not happen ever!"
"We loved this book so much when we read it with our grandma. She couldn’t stop laughing (literally, she was in tears). Many hours of joy with this story. We will always recommend this book to everyone. "
"My two children have been in hysterics. Thank you for the moments that I lie in bed with two giggling children."
Join Ted on his fully immersive adventure through time as he flushes himself back to Tudor times to get dance lessons and kingly tips from Henry VIII himself - all in the vague hope of becoming prom king to Chloe (swoon!) Onions' prom queen! A hilarious page turner that encompasses history, adventure, and comedy in equal measure.
"An excellent read. Very funny and excellently written. Can't wait for the next book."
“This is a very silly stinky book that is really funny”.

"What did we like about this book? - the sound of my son giggling to himself whilst reading!"

I thought it was great! I liked hearing about the books and listening to everyone else’s questions. I also liked the quiz. I think that if we did it again everyone would love it. I liked learning about Shakespeare as well. Eleanor
· I thought that it was a very good idea. It made me think about writing books, not just reading them. I enjoyed listening to everyone’s questions and the author answering them. It made me realise that every author is inspired by someone, or something else. Sophia 5
· WOW! It was incredible. I think it was so fun and exciting. I can’t wait to read his books, they sound AMAZING! Scarlett
· It was a very good idea. I learnt a lot about this author and it was nice to have some opinions about what to read. I would like to see another author. I really enjoyed myself. Thank you soooo much! Maahi
