I'm a storyteller compelled to take you on journeys. I started writing at the age of 5 or 6. When my siblings spent their pocket money on sweets, I used to buy notebooks and dream of being like Enid Blyton or Roald Dahl. By the time I was 7 I had written a 22 page story. By 10 I had written Who Framed Roger Rabbit 2 (complete with drawings) and by 15 I had written my first novel. I love stories - I just can't stop. Being creative makes me happy. In addition to storytelling, I am also a parent and a teacher. I have two wonderful children who have grown into moody teenagers. At least, they will be moody when they read this! And luckily for them, I teach at their school in the beautiful Somerset countryside. My life has always been eventful; too much to share here - in fact, I think there might be another novel in it somewhere... but I am lucky to have a wonderful family and friends, a life filled with laughter, imagination and travel, and a home in a place I love. Although I am probably being a bit polite; catch me later and I'll probably moan about how it is all rubbish and I'm planning to jet off to the Bahamas... You'll be able to tell because my next novel will be set on a beach.
