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. 

 

Mysteries at Sea: Peril on the Atlantic was selected as Waterstones Children's Book of the Month in August 2023, and the follow up The Royal Jewel Plot was chosen as The Times Children's Book of the Week. 

I live in Suffolk and when I'm not writing I love nothing more than curling up with a good book. My favourite children's authors include Jo Clarke, Lesley Parr and Lindsay Galvin. I also love long walks in the countryside and drinking lots of tea!
