Keith Hatton (Author)

Hello all! I’m the maker of this website and the author of all the books, which feels rather strange… and mostly wonderful. For 10 years, I worked as a primary school teacher before deciding to follow a different career path. I loved working in education, particularly interacting with the brilliant young people in my classes but felt that I needed a bit more balance and a whole lot more autonomy. It’s amazing what a change in your life can do and where it can lead you. I now have a small gardening business during the day, I am a private tutor in the evening and a writer in between.

Most importantly, I live with my beautiful wife, Emma, and my two gorgeous kids, Bertie and Clara. I’d love to show them that if you have a dream then, with a bit of imagination and hard work, you can make it happen. This website, and the books that we have created, are part of the dream - I hope you enjoy reading them.
