Hi,
I’m glad you found your way here. Having a weirdly spelt name means it can be tricky to find my website. Few get the spelling of Paeony Lewis right the first time and instead type Peony Lewis, Peaony Lewis, Peonie Lewis, Penny Lewis, Posy Louis...

So welcome and thanks for visiting my website. Here you can find out about me, my books for children, school visits, adult courses, writing tips, plus a special section on naming characters in books.

I hope you can linger long enough to peek at the section called All About Names. If you click Author Name Secrets you’ll discover secrets from children’s authors on how they name the characters in their books. Some characters are named after people that authors know. The name of one character came to an author in a dream. I’ve found it intriguing.

Happy reading,
Paeony

COURSES on writing children’s books.

Once again I’ll be tutoring the popular Adult Education Saturday workshops for beginners: Writing Children’s Fiction Workshop. Run in Norwich, the first workshop will be on 16 October 2010. As this course is always full it’ll be repeated 5 February 2011. Please click for more info.

OVERSEAS EDITIONS

I always get a thrill from seeing foreign editions of my books. Recently I had my first Slovenian edition of Best Friends Or Not, and there are also to be Brazilian and Indonesian editions. Happy reading!

TV- GLEE!

What a surprise!

Ha ha, I was amazed to see the US version of my picture book I’ll Always Love You featured in a May 2010 TV episode of the US teen musical drama Glee. Sue Sylvester (the psycho cheerleading teacher!) reads it to her sister in a tender moment.
