Simon Dudley

Simon Dudley is an imaginative and heartfelt storyteller best known for his Laura McNaughty Adventures. The series, so far, is a collection of six charming children's and family adventure books that bring laughter, curiosity, and a sense of wonder to readers of all ages. The stories are set in 1950s England, which is probably the last decade where kids could have fun in the great outdoors without the constraints imposed on them today. The fun will continue as more stories are in the pipeline to enhance the series.

Born and raised in the United Kingdom, Simon draws on a lifelong love of nature, outdoor exploration, and the joyful chaos of childhood to craft stories that are as engaging for adults as they are for young readers. His characters leap off the page with warmth and authenticity, inviting readers into worlds where every woodland trail, harbour festival and snowy Christmas escape becomes an unforgettable adventure.

Simon lives in the UK with his wife where he continues to write, explore the outdoors and dream up new adventures for Laura and her friends.
