Details

I write picture books and junior fiction for children. I'm available for school visits, workshops and literary festivals. My picture book The Snowflake Mistake was the CBeebies Bedtime Story on 15 December.

School visits

School visits are a great way to get children excited about books. My visits are a mixture of assemblies, workshops and storytelling which you can pick and mix - please see the schools information pack on my website which contains activities, printable resources and everything you need to plan your day. Just choose the workshops or sessions you would like, or suggest your own. How about a science-themed day or a creative writing day?

"You were absolutely amazing and we would definitely like to have you back another time! The children all thoroughly enjoyed it and I had very positive feedback from staff too!" Mrs L Wren, St Andrews Lower School, Biggleswade

"Everyone really enjoyed your session - we've had fantastic feedback!" Rachael Rogan, organiser of Bedford Children's Book Festival and owner of Rogan's Books

"Thanks so much for making World Book Day special and so much fun." Mrs S Teague, Caddington Village School

"Thank you for the lovely story and craft sessions. Children and families had a great time." Sue Shead, Bedford Central Library

I am based in Bedfordshire but am happy to travel providing travel and accommodation expenses are met.

Homework on Pluto

A holiday to Pluto seems like a well-deserved reward for Jon, considering he has just saved the entire planet. However, with homework arriving from Earth, mad Grans and handbag-stealing blue-headed skwitches to deal with, Jon’s trip might be more eventful than he’d planned! A brilliantly funny sequel to Letter to Pluto.
