Our
Adventures...
Myrtle and the Mindful Marauders have been adventuring since 1990! Unfortunately they have had to wait for Sue to catch up with them, (seems she had all this other "important stuff" to do first!) so they spent a lot of time impatiently twiddling their thumbs whilst occasionally giving her a little nudge (or a right proper kick up the bum!)
​
Myrtle will tell you that everything you see here is because of all that bum kicking. Sue however, will tell you that it was more about slowing down, healing and mindfully learning how to love every part of herself. (And that wasn't actually a very easy task!)
​
In 1993 Sue gave an original copy of 'Myrtle the Mushroom' to Prince Charles! Yes....she did actually meet a real Prince! He was delightful and Myrtle firmly believes that he took it straight home to read to young William and Harry!
​
Myrtle has of course since heard that Prince Charles is now an ACTUAL KING! Myrtle still goes a little light headed at the thought that she has actually met a REAL KING! (So cooool!)
​
Anyway, the next few decades have been full of various adventures, (some fun, some not) but Sue always had Myrtle by her side. Gradually they found themselves writing more and more stories and together with all the other Mindful marauders they have developed lots of different ways to share their love of mind, body and spirit...by entwining them into fun and adventurous stories for children (and adults).
​
Here are a few titles to give you an idea...
Children's Stories with
Working Titles:
The stories below all exist and are all fun, adventure stories for children.
The titles and illustrations are yet to be fully established as Sue is currently exploring and open to finding an agent and/ or publisher...and is keen for advice and expertise. (Do feel free to contact her if you have any of these wonderful qualities!)
Please explore below as the current titles will give you a taste of the stories already written as well as an idea of what's to come...
