About me
My fascination with animals began when I was aged eight and a stray cat walked in the back door and decided to adopt me. As a child I wanted to be a writer and used to dictate stories to my mother and she’d type them up on an old borrowed typewriter. It wasn’t until I bought a laptop of my own a few years ago now that I decided to type them myself.
I love gardening, being outdoors, art, calligraphy, wildlife and animals. I live in Dorset and share the space around my desk with my two dogs, Harry and Coco.

If you’d like to know more about me, the books or writing, then I’d love to hear from you.
Contact me about events in schools, libraries or festivals. I like to encourage creativity in writing using drama, fun and workshops to suit a project with a particular focus on characters. Happy to discuss and tailor.
