A BIT ABOUT ME
In 2015 I was one of 15 writers selected to take part in a Curtis Brown Creative Writing for Children course tutored by Catherine Johnson. My books have been nominated for a number of awards and The House of One Hundred Clocks won The Mal Peet Children's Award and The East Anglian Book of the Year 2020. Mystery of the Night Watchers was selected as Blackwell's children's book of the month for July 2021.
The first book in my new historical series, Mysteries at Sea: Peril on the Atlantic, was published by Usborne in August 2023 and was selected as Waterstones Children's Book of the Month.
I live in Suffolk with my husband and two almost grown up children and when I'm not writing I love nothing more than curling up with a good book. My favourite children's authors include Katherine Rundell, Katherine Woodfine, Lesley Parr and Lucy Strange. I also love long walks in the countryside, swimming and drinking lots of tea!
