Vote for my book!
October 14, 2013
Last year, Barrington Stoke (a small publisher) published my book LOVE BITES. Here it is – and you have to imagine that the grey bits are actually shiny silver. It’s a very beautiful cover when you see it with your own eyes! Anyway, it’s a story about Grace and her boyfriend James. They are soo … More Vote for my book!
Review – Pea’s Book of Birthdays
October 11, 2013
I heart Pea. I really do. I read the first Pea book (Pea’s book of Best Friends) a year or so ago, and I loved it. It’s a cracking read, and so is this one. Pea is nearly twelve, and due to the bizarre way these things happen, everyone in her family has a birthday … More Review – Pea’s Book of Birthdays

Cards!

I love card-making. It all started in 2004 when I had just finished a theatre tour of The Borrowers. I went on holiday for two weeks to rest up (it was a looong tour and very hard work!) and while staying in this little bungalow, I bought a copy of Crafts Beautiful magazine – and … More Cards!
