The Ship's Log


Featuring a policeman, a pirate, a Rottweiler and a very tired mum...
The James Family Chronicles began the same way most of my stories do: somewhere between a spilled milk bottle, a Rottweiler wearing a helmet, and me wondering why the children are suddenly quiet.
It’s a collection of real moments from our chaotic crew: Nathaniel, Westley, an oversized dog with zero spatial awareness, the Nan who holds the universe together, and me, doing my best to stay upright while life throws chippies and curveballs at the same time.
​
These are the kind of stories you tell your friends with a laugh and a sigh. The moments that make you go:
“Is this normal?”
and
“At least it’s not just me!”
​
Because it isn’t just you.
Family life is wild, unpredictable, hilarious, exhausting, heart-thumping, and best held together with snacks and sarcasm.
