I have been writing and illustrating books for over 25 years. After studying at Famouth College of Arts for both my BA and MA in illustration I went on to work with Scholastic Children's Books, Andersen press and Macmillan Children's Books amongst others.

'Darkness Slipped in' was highly commended in the British Book Design Awards in 2008 and nominated for the Kate Greenaway medal in 2009.

'Recipe for a Story' is a book about writing stories and has been published in America, under the title, 'How to Bake a Book'. 

'Recipe for a Story' has featured on CBeebies 'Book at Bedtime', read by Alex Polizzi.

'Betty and The Yeti' has recently been adapted as a play for young audiences by Angel Exit Theatre. Their beautiful production has recieved fantastic reviews and continues to tour theatres in the Southwest.
