Derian Dreams Bedtime Story Collection

6/16/2016

This week I am bubbling over with excitement! It's spouting out from the top of my head and making a mess on the floor and you know how hard it is to get excitement out of the carpets!  
All because of the launch of 'Derian Dreams Bedtime Story Collection.'

 Just why has this got me so excited?

Is it because this is a wonderful collection of original stories by top children's authors including Jonathan Meres, Steve Hartley, Mo O'Hara,  and Alan Durant to name but a few?

No.
​

Is it because it is voiced by a stellar cast of British talent including Jane Horrocks, Dave Spikey and Steve Pemberton?

Not a bit of it.
​

Maybe it's because the anthology includes my own story 'Rotten Robin and the Crooked Cutlass' voiced by the incredible Ted Robbins?

Not even that.
​
No, the reason why I can't contain my excitement is that I am privileged be a part of the Derian Dreams Campaign.

The campaign has been launched by Derian House Children's Hospice to mark 23 years of caring for life limited and life threatened children throughout the North West of England. They provide a service that is crucial to these children and young people, supporting them and their families through the highs and lows of their illnesses and beyond.

​The aim of Derian Dreams is to raise enough funds to provide every family the opportunity to access respite care and the chance to get a good night's sleep.

So I'm excited because every time anyone downloads my story, or any of the others, or even ALL of them,  that money is helping make Deriann House's dream a reality. 

And you should be excited too! Because all you need to do to support the heart felt work of Derian House is to click a download. Then you, your little ones and the families Derian House supports can  drift into..... sweet dreams!

Sounds like a winner!
On a more mundane note, though, who did that sleeping sheep on the star logo? Is is available for personal use?
