about me
I am a childrens/YA author represented by Curtis Brown Literary and Talent Agency. I write all kinds of fiction for ages 8-12, and
am currently working on my third novel.
Im a country girl at heart, so youll often find me hiking, cycling or nature-watching in the countryside. I am a keen supporter of the
RSPB, where I freelance for their childrens magazines, and recently did a sponsored bungee jump to raise money for the plight of
Hen Harriers in England.
I also enjoy yoga, dancing about at rock concerts and re-reading Harry Potter.
