Books by Ian Wilkinson

Ian had a productive and well-respected career as a child psychologist before writing fiction. He wrote two books about children and families, worked as a trainer for Newcastle University and represented his professional group at a national level. But most important, he spent twenty years helping children and their families deal with trauma, illness and other dilemmas. There is nothing more useful for a writer than to hear the secret lives of others; to listen to their internal worlds, their thoughts and feelings; to see how these impact upon the person's life and external world; and to learn how to put the heart of the matter into words.
