Praise for Rosen Trevithick

"Brilliant."

- The Independent

(Re: 'The Troll Trap')

"Fun, lighthearted read and well written. Children who enjoy Roald Dahl and Horrible Histories may like this."

- Kew (Amazon Top 1000 Reviewer)

(Re: 'The Troll Trap')

"You can tell that Ms Trevithick was a fan of Roald Dahl when she was growing up. The stinky trolls in this story are reminiscent of the giants in The BFG and, if possible, even more revolting. Her strong authorial voice and witty prose will appeal to parents as much as children; I caught myself chortling out loud at least every other page."

- Rebecca Davies (The Independent)

(Re: 'The Troll Trap')

"Laugh-out-loud funny, wonderfully observed, and intelligent."

- N. Holme

Poem Generator

Having outgrown writing simple generators like my song and plot tools, I knew if I was going to create a poem generator, it would want it to be creative rather than a tool that simply shuffles.

Search Your Shutterstock History

Shutterstock has a vast database of stock images available for licensing at reasonable prices. However, I found it very difficult to search my download history using their own website. Therefore, I designed a tool to search only your own images

Copic Blending Hand Colour Chart

I've knocked up a hand colour chart that you can print and use to try-out your blending groups. There are many great Copic colour charts out there but all the ones I've found feature discrete boxes rather than areas to try out your blending groups.
