WELCOME!

I am a Carnegie-nominated children's author of young, middle-grade and YA books, writing whatever comes to mind. As my mind is a wild and  untamed thing, you'll find everything from non-fiction and poetry to comedy series, adventures and thrillers, and sweet little animal stories.

​Please come in and take a look around.
