ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Busy mum to four gorgeous kids, I love writing fantasy for YA and Middle Grade readers. A lover of fantasy from a young age, I love reading, writing and watching stories full of magic, adventure and a bit of romance.

Tell us a little bit about yourself, your hobbies and interests.

I'm a busy mum to four young kids and love fantasy. I love reading, watching and writing all things fantasy. I grew up loving Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, The Neverending Story, Harry Potter and Shadowhunters. While I've written for kids and adults, my favourite age-group to write for are teens and young-adults.

When and why did you start writing books?

I always loved writing stories when I was at school, and as a hobby. But I didn't take it seriously until I was an adult and home on maternity leave.

Which one of your books or characters is your favourite?

Book 2 in my Mystica Trilogy is my favourite. While it is fantasy adventure at its core, it introduces more elements of mystery and surprises throughout the story.

Who is your favourite author and book?

Even though she is not of my favourite genre, I love the way Kate Morton writes. She has an amazing ability to weave details and mysteries throughout her stories. My favourite author as a kid was Enid Blyton and these days I love Cassandra Clare, Adalyn Grace and Stephanie Garber.

What book are you reading right now?

Belladonna series by Adalyn Grace

Where do you get your inspiration for your books?

Music mostly. Also from other books and things I watch.

What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?

Writing is what I do in my spare time!

Do you have any new books in the works?

Yes, I'm working on a children's sword-and-sorcery fantasy adventure story which my kids helped me brainstorm. This has been a really fun project. And I'm also working on a fairytale style collection of short stories for teen/YA readers.
