Mark Daydy
Over the past 20 years, I've written extensively for TV and radio (for children and adults).
When it comes to my books, adults will find humour with heart revolving around relationships, families, changing careers, moving home and growing up. Just the thing for fans of Nick Hornby, Helen Fielding, David Nicholls, Nick Spalding, Sue Townsend, Jon Rance and Mike Gayle.
For children, I write warm, humorous tales about finding your place in the world. On television, I've written for Shaun the Sheep, Chuggington, Thomas & Friends, Noddy, 3rd & Bird, Pinky & Perky and Basil Brush.

After a career as a dentist Maddie now lives in Devon with her exceptionally handsome and supportive husband. They have 4 adult-ish children all of whom have left home and are probably rather surprised by all this. She did warn them.
Maddie is a voracious reader, and would enjoy hoovering, defrosting the fridge and cleaning the windows but unfortunately she doesn't really have time. She is very disciplined and sensible about her writing and she likes to write every day because it gets her out of doing the ironing. -
Dee MacDonald
The Runaway Wife is Dee’s first (published) novel but in fact she wrote her very first book – at around seven years of age! This was a love story which she duly illustrated before sewing all the pages together up one side. Writing was what she ‘was good at’ in school and she won several essay competitions, but then life got in the way and she didn’t pick up a pen again until after retirement.

I write stories about ordinary people, living lives of extraordinary courage and I can promise only two things: no knights in shining armour and no flying cars. My fictional characters save themselves, as in the end we all must do.
A Midlife Holiday is my debut. Here's what people are saying:
“I haven’t devoured a book in one sitting for a long time but I literally could not put this down. It shouldn’t be so rare (or refreshing) to read about the lives of middle-aged women, but it is. Cary J Hansson handles her subject matter with authenti -
