I have published sixteen children's books to date, with a new book due out in October 2025. I never intended to write children’s books; that sort of came about by chance. I wanted to teach, which I did. At college, I wrote poetry and had a few published in the college magazines. While teaching, I would often write with the children or for the children, modelling examples of poetry, etc. We might also create a shared write together. ‘A Spooky Tale’ was written with my class following a class trip around our neighbourhood.

My latest book, 'A Ticket to Ride’, is a collection of stories and verse. A ticket to ride is a book to be read and shared with the children. With animals and friends who hop on and off the bus as it travels through lands near and far, on special days and everyday afternoons. Meet everything from cats and elephants to one very celebratory bee, telling jokes and adding their opinions along the way. This collection of light-hearted poems and stories is ideal for a cosy afternoon with children and adults alike.
