Author Guest Post
Dear Westveil Publishing,
I am thrilled to be featured on your fascinating blog with the second book in the Patroosh series, Patroosh, the Hungry Pelican. Your extensive experience in editing, illustrating, and reviewing, coupled with your educational background, make me eager to hear your thoughts. I am excited to introduce you to the latest adventure of these two feathered friends.
Through my passion for storytelling and communication, I have brought these hilarious characters to life. Patroosh, the Pelican, and Seamus the Seagull were inspired by our family’s experiences at our local beach. In their lively adventures, children can learn important values such as kindness, sharing, perseverance, and friendship.
In addition to my love for creativity, I have a background in communications and commercial television. I am the founder of Mystery Lane Media, a video production company, and the creator of Patroosh, the Pelican, an online shop. When I’m not busy creating content, I enjoy spending time with my family, including my adorable pups and bunnies. Travelling, enjoying the beach, and spending time during story-time are some of my favourite pastimes.
I absolutely love writing children’s picture books. There’s something truly magical about the imaginative world that comes to life during story time. Hearing from families and classrooms who enjoy my books brings me pure joy and gratitude. It’s a dream come true to share my stories and bring happiness to others.
Without further ado, let me introduce you to Patroosh the Pelican and Seamus the Seagull as they embark on a lunchtime adventure. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it. If you know any fussy eaters, I hope this story sparks some fun conversations about their food preferences.
Thank you for hosting me on your blog, and happy reading!

Patroosh, the pelican, and Seamus, the seagull, are bobbing along, paddling their feet and singing their boisterous bird song. SQUAWK SQUAWK SQUAAAAAAAAWK.
Ah, this is the life,” bursts out Seamus with glee, then Patroosh does something funny, yelling,
“Look at me, look at me!
