I started my working career as a teacher, and then I moved into the business world. I have worked in local government. More recently, I have retired and now spend my time writing for children and undertaking voluntary work. I have been inspired to write my books, as I feel passionate about children learning to read at a young age. I have been a Governor at a local primary school and regularly help children with their reading.
I have had a marvellous time with schools so far this year. If you are interested in me visiting your school please email on [email protected]. I am now taking bookings for World Book Day 2025, and have already received some interest.
I have just had a great evening at the Budleigh Salterton Literary Festival, taking part in the Local Author Showcase event. I hope to attend other festivals in the next 12 months.
