Biography
Ever since I can remember my head hs been filled with intriguing characters living in weird places of my own invention. At school I used to be told off for day dreaming, but also praised for writing such imaginative stories. It was quite confusing!
One day Puffin pinned me down and told me they wanted to publish two of my children’s stories, which were award-nominated and translated into nine languages.
I also love telling stories and running workshops.


I have a large and lively family, plus a puppy. I used to have three dogs, but sadly they are no longer with us. If you have ever lost a dog, you will know how miserable life can be without one

Fortunately, Teddy came along and stole our hearts. He is a tiny bundle of fun.
