I love writing both fiction and non-fiction books, and enjoy the challenge of writing for different ages, too. History's a great interest of mine, and I've written several books in this genre, most recently the 'Toby Tucker' series and 'Highway Girl' (a My Story book). It's exciting to tackle a whole new topic, and I love researching at historical sites like the Tower of London - one of my favourite places, as readers of 'Bloody Tower' and 'To Kill a Queen' will realise!

My fiction is generally light-hearted. I like to bring touches of humour to all my work - even books about dinosaurs!

I'm happy to talk to young people about my work and about the whole writing and publication process.  I also like to talk about the difficulties of writing; I have the same problems as many of the children. I hope my enthusiasm comes across to them, as I'm absolutely potty about what I do!
