The official website of Val Tyler, author of the bestselling The Time Wreccas and The Time Apprentice
My name is Val Tyler. My first two books, The Time Wreccas and The Time Apprentice are the start of The Greenwich Chronicles. You can buy them both at good bookshops and over the internet.

1st March I'm looking forward to seeing everyone in Kington Primary School tomorrow (Wednesday). It should be fun!
I had a lovely morning with the Writers Squad in Newtown on Saturday. My goodness, it was cold without the heating! Still, I hope you all had as good a time as I did. I'll be with the Squad in Brecon in a fortnight. I'm told you are a lively bunch, so we should have a great time.
School visits
One of my favourite things is visiting schools. Teachers, you may find some useful things in the teachers' pages.

The Time Wreccas is now translated into nine language. I am very excited that I get mail from all over the world. Perhaps I will be able to visit some of the lovely countries where people are reading my books.

In October 2007 I had a great day out at The Roald Dahl Museum in Great Missenden. I love seeing where and how other writers work and so it was fantastic to be able to sit in Roald Dahl's chair. The museum shop has a display of Matilda's Reading List and I was really excited to see The Time Apprentice right in the middle!

Did you know that Welsh schools are eligible for assistance with funding the costs of visiting writers? Check the Academi website.
