Home Paeony Lewis, children's author

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

OVERSEAS EDITIONS

I always get a thrill from seeing foreign editions of my books, so this month it was great to see a Greek copy of I’ll Always Love You.

Recently I had my first Slovenian edition of Best Friends Or Not. I now know the Slovenian for SPLAT is PAF! There are also to be Brazilian and Indonesian editions - wonder what SPLAT will be?
In the Dutch edition it’s FLATS!
