Before I got bitten by the birth bug I was a journalist and author. I went straight from graduating with an “upper second” at Oxford University to work on a local newspaper. I soon became an education correspondent on a national broadsheet and was children’s books editor of The Times. I still write as much as I can find time for.
I am represented by A.M Heath & Co. Ltd, Authors’ Agents.
