Play explores the nuances of male friendships as four boys navigate towards adulthood - when one of them gets drawn into a county lines drugs gang, their childish games take a wrong turn. It's predecessor, Grow, is a critically acclaimed, tense, exciting, contemporary YA story about grief and far-right radicalisation. I am an experienced educator and speaker. My novels draw on my extensive work with young people as an English teacher, with a particular eye on reluctant male readers. My books deal with themes like anger, shame and friendship which I continue in my author talks on the importance of reading and in my engaging and inclusive workshops. I am flexible to your context and can tailor sessions for large and small groups to suit your requirements.

A warm and engaging speaker, I give a new perspective on World War Two by making it personal through the stories of my dad, a code breaker at Bletchley Park, my uncle, an agent for Special Operations Executive (SOE) and my aunt who was stranded in Nazi-sympathetic Hungary in great danger as a Jewish woman. Their games and rivalries as children run through the novels. I'm looking forward to meeting more children and young teens, and adults too who also have a stimulating experience when I come to talk.

DREAM HUNTERS is the first in a series of books set in a fantasy, reimagined India where dreams can be captured and bottled, young Mimi Malou must go on a quest to save the king and rescue her parents. Twelve-year-old Mimi lives with her Aunt Moyna in a centuries-old Citadel where she studies the ancient practice of making, capturing and recycling dreams. The Citadel was once run by Mimi’s parents who have been imprisoned by the king, accused of treason. When Mimi spies a royal visitor, she uncovers a plot to transform the Citadel from a place of gentle, healing dream craft to one of creating nightmares in order to poison the king. With only her dream creature, Lalu, and her best friend Rafi by her side, Mimi must escape the Citadel and begin a perilous journey across India. There are few people she can trust, but saving the life of the king is in Mimi’s hands alone…

I was so lucky to be asked by a collection of Waterstones branches for a collection of book-signings which were such delightful affairs. Children and parents meeting me? What more could one ask for of a Saturday? I visit prep and state schools regularly to encourage, to entertain and to help instil a sense of fun and magic into the lives of children. A live talk with a person is far more intriguing than wondering if what if? - if you are an inspiring author? Books entertain and teach and guide and create a familiarity and a resonance between the words and the reader. I've also lectured from an author stance to the WI. And only two of them fell asleep.

I'm full of enthusiasm and have great fun sharing my world and stories with children (and adults). I've created characters based on real life animals and their adventures reflect the natural world they live in. Books are illustrated throughout with cameo appearances on each page to keep the conversations fresh. My visits include activities with the children and as I'm an expert on the world of Polly Paint Pony, I love the challenge of Q&A with all children - curve balls included! Visits are tailored to suit the children's age groups with tongue twisting challenges to get all the children (and their teachers) involved.
