My Writing & Services
Children's fantasy stories crafted with heart — and a little dragon magic.
My writing
Stories that spark imagination
I write children's fantasy books that blend adventure, warmth, and a touch of the magical. My debut series follows Malachi — a young boy navigating a world of dragons, friendship, and courage.
Malachi & the Sick Dragon
When Malachi discovers a dragon in distress, he must find the courage to help — even when no one believes him. A heartwarming tale of bravery, kindness, and the bonds we form with the unexpected.
Inscription
A gripping tale of secrets, identity, and the marks we leave behind. Fiona Ballard's second novel weaves mystery and heart into an unforgettable story.
Services
Working with schools & events
Alongside writing, I love connecting with young readers in person. I offer a range of author visits and creative writing sessions tailored for primary schools, libraries, and literary events.
School visits
An engaging author visit for primary school children — including a reading, Q&A, and creative writing activity. Suitable for KS1 and KS2.
Creative writing workshops
Hands-on workshops that guide children through the joy of storytelling — from character creation to building their own fantastical worlds.
Library & literary events
Book readings, signings, and panel appearances at libraries, book fairs, and literary festivals. Always happy to chat with young readers and their families.
Book club sessions
Virtual or in-person sessions for children's book clubs — discussion questions, behind-the-scenes insights, and a chance to ask the author anything.
