Meet Beatrice

Beatrice Higgins is a retired school teacher (45 years in primary education) who now enjoys writing stories as a creative hobby. Her beloved Persian cat, Reza, is both her constant companion and the star of her tales. His playful antics, clever schemes, and occasional naughtiness provided the perfect inspiration for The Adventures of Reza Shadey — a growing collection of humorous bedtime stories for children aged 4+.

So far, Mrs Higgins has written over 100 stories and continues to add new ones. In the world of Reza Shadey, she often appears as herself — Reza's patient and caring owner (or, as Reza prefers to say, his "servant"). Her stories are filled with warmth, humour, and gentle life lessons that make bedtime a happy, giggly time for families.
