Hi, I'm Geoff Swift, an Author from Scotland.

I am the author of 'The Zak and Rory' series, 'The Witch, The Cat and Jack' a trilogy of Witch stories and a coloring book.  Also 'Brian The Beetroot's Haircut,'  'Max The Rabbit's Close Encounters'  and 'Tommy the Fieldmouse's Nightime Adventure's,' books. Which is a series of illustrated young reader books. The main characters are animals who daily have to fight for survival and against nature.

'Tiggy the TIGER Cat's Long Journey to Friendship' a story of a lost cat's survival and friendship crossing the country to get home. To assist the Dyslexic reader there is a Dyslexic reading and colouring book with line drawings by Jane Cornwell.

'Freida the Witch Princess and the Spirit of The Black Stone,' is due for publication in Autumn .

The ebook rights to my first book 'The Friendly Giant called Zak and his Friend Rory the Misnamed Monster' have been taken by Scholastic US until 2026.

I also supported Hamley's Toy Store for world book day when I gave instore author readings and talks.

I enjoy the outdoors and travelling. I am a keen walker, skier and golfer when not writing. I have given primary school talks, and love the engagement, feedback and questions the young learners give. Listening and engaging with the young learners, I am impressed with their approach to learning and the environment.
