Author description

I am quite a new writer looking to branch out in children's non-fiction. I am keen to write on any subject and enjoy looking for new material to keep information interesting and exciting for young minds. I also love to write fiction and am working on both stories and poems, with my sister who is illustrating them. I live in London, with my husband, in a flat the size of a shoebox. I love to cook and to bake, and walk along the river.
