ABOUT ME (THE BORING OFFICIAL VERSION)
I write for all ages, from toddlers through to adults, and have published over a hundred short stories and poems across five continents.
I was the first ever UK winner of the Commonwealth Short Story Competition and was shortlisted for the Greenhouse Funny Prize.
I studied English at Cambridge University followed by a Research Masters at the University of Strathclyde.

ABOUT ME (THE IMPORTANT STUFF)
I love reading, stationery, walks by the river, going to the cinema, and spotting tadpoles, squirrels and lizards. I also love to travel (but hate packing) and lived in Norway as a young child.
I've never managed a proper cartwheel but I bake a mean carrot cake.
My superpower of choice would be flying, but I'd have to keep low to the ground as I don't like heights! I don't like baked beans either, despite having written a book about them...
I get my best writing ideas on walks, or last thing at night when I'm trying to get to sleep.
I like pickled herrings and trifle - but not at the same time.
