After school, I did a degree in illustration, then worked for teen mags as a journalist and agony aunt. My first book was published in 2004.
About writer's work:
Out September 2011: Marshmallow Skye. Coming July 2012: Summer's Dream & Daizy Star Ooh La La!About writer's events and projects:
I usually do school visits, library talks, or book festival events and usually focus on writing, how I got started, or on the books themselves.
It would be great to have plenty of notice and/or flexibilty as I get booked up quite fast these days.
