"Hollow Earth is an amazing, well written book. I love the fact that it is based on Cumbrae. I found I had some things in common with the twins and their friend Zach who is deaf. I too can sign and communicate with the use of sign language. The story keeps you wanting to continue reading and you don't get bored."

"I have just read your amazing book Hollow Earth. It's one of the best books I have ever read! I do read a lot and find it hard to get myself into a good book, but you should know I finished Hollow Earth in 4 days. I just wanted to know if you are going to write another book, it would be great."

"The central conceit - that certain people, known as Animare, are able to bring to life any picture they draw - is interesting and explored well, and the main characters, Matt and Emily Calder and their hearing-impaired friend Zach, are appealing and given convincing dialogue. The plot, meanwhile, sees sinister forces aligning to exploit the children's powers to open up a netherworld full of demons and there's a good use of lesser-known beasts from myth and fable"

"I really enjoyed your book as it was gripping from the first page! I love the fact that Matt and Em can feel what each other is thinking. It's an ability that I would want to have. As there is action on every page, I never wanted to stop reading. I really hope you write a sequel."
