About me
WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE!
I’m Doreen Connor, a children’s author, primary school teacher, singer and lifelong animal lover from Ayrshire, Scotland. I’m so glad you’re here and hope you enjoy discovering a little more about me and the stories I love bringing to life!
More about me…
I’ve been a primary school teacher for over twenty years and one of my favourite parts of the job has always been sharing stories with children and watching their imaginations come to life. I also loved reading and making up stories with my own two children when they were young, so perhaps becoming a children’s author was always on the cards!
Alongside writing, music has always been one of my great loves, and I’ve sung in bands for most of my life. In 2010, a singing competition took me to the legendary Abbey Road Studios, where I became part of The Harmonies, a five-piece female vocal group made up of WI members. We won a record contract, released a CD and enjoyed a whirlwind of TV, radio and press appearances. It was an unforgettable experience!
My stories
My first children’s book, Tails of Courage, was inspired by my much-loved golden retriever, Skye, whose personality and adventurous spirit helped bring the story to life.
I love writing stories filled with adventure, friendship, humour and heart. Most of all, I hope my books make children smile, spark their imaginations and encourage a love of reading that stays with them long after the final page.
When I’m not teaching or writing, I love spending time with my family, singing, enjoying a good book or film and, of course, dreaming up adventures yet to be written…
