About
I am writing and publishing novels and shorter stories for children aged 4 to 13 years. I have taught poetry and other aspects of creative writing at the Gateway in Shrewsbury, at Burton Manor College on the Wirral, Deputy head of a Shropshire primary school for nearly twenty years, and member of the Society of Authors and the National Association of Writers in Schools. After early retirement, I set up my own art and craft business, became an actress, and then three year training to be a C of E minister and two years to be a Third Order Franciscan. Now I am a full time writer with my work in independent bookshops. Much of my time is spent in writing and author visits to schools, teaching creative writing and reading from my stories.
