Thanks for visiting my site. I am Simon Hall, the author of a series of children’s books centred around Tom and Holly and their adventures aboard heritage trains up and down the country.
After the success of my first book, Trouble on the Watermeadow Line, I have been continuing to write further books in the series, and my fourth, “Beastly Times On The Jurassic line “ is now available.
And coming in the Summer of 2024 "The Portal of Time and the Strawberry Line" will be the 5th book in the series. Set on the East Somerset heritage Railway travelling from Cranmore through to Cheddar station, four portals will need to be navigated.
From the famous Cheddar gorge caves to the plains of Africa, the Himalayas in India and The Darjeeling Railway. Holly Tom and Pip the cat enter a new rip roaring adventure on board a runaway circus train. Can they help the animals find their way back to their natural home and will the curator of the famous caves join them?
