My writing

Adventure, friendship, humour and heart

I love writing stories that make children smile, spark their imaginations and encourage a love of reading that stays with them long after the final page.

Where stories begin

Inspired by life, family and a very special dog

Sharing stories with children has been one of my favourite parts of teaching for over twenty years. I also loved reading and making up stories with my own two children when they were young.

My first children’s book was inspired by my much-loved golden retriever, Skye, whose personality and adventurous spirit helped bring the story to life.

First in a planned series

Tails of Courage

My first children’s book was published on 28 September 2026. Visit the book page for the latest news and buying information.
