The Boy on the Train

Right now I'm working on a book called The Boy on the Train for Fiction Express - an innovative online book platform that connects students with authors, encouraging reading for pleasure through fun co-creation of stories. It's an interesting and sometimes challenging way to write a story as everything can change - depending on how the readers vote at the end of a chapter. 

In addition to this, I am just about to start a new writing project with a UK publisher - but unfortunately I'm not allowed to say anything about this at the moment. 

If you like graphic books, keep your eyes open for my new series - Ace Inventors. Sam, Amara and Jazz are best friends who love inventing things. Their inventions are fun and exciting - but things don't always go to plan. There are six in the series and the first two - The Wong Dimension, and A Trip in Time should be appearing in shops and libraries now...

 

World Book Day 2026

 Tomorrow is World Book Day and I'm going to be spending it at Well Lane Primary School in Tranmere. I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone. It's going to be a fun day of stories, rhymes, and lots of book talk, questions and answers.

New Books and Out on the Road

Over the past twelve months I've been busy with writing, and Vicky and I have been busy looking after Marvin - our miniature dachshund. Marvin is two years old now - here's a picture of him on his birthday. A very handsome young man.

I'm always busy writing but over the last few months I've been working on some little graphic reader books. Six about pirates and six more some about young inventors. The pirate books - all about a young pirate and his shipwrecked crew will be published in a few months - the first two coming out in April. 

With excellent illustrations by Denis Christo, I think they look great. I found writing a graphic book to be quite a bit different to writing a normal story as I had to really imagine how each page was going to look. 

World Book Day is coming up and I will be out and about visiting schools and libraries. I can still fit a couple more visits in, so if you would like a visit to your school, send me and email to damianjharvey@sky.com
