    Check out my BLOG here: The stories behind the stories. 
    This is where I explore the themes and ideas behind my novels.
    The backstories of the characters and how they came about.
    Where the ideas come from and how they grow into a story. And how my own life experiences feed the constant, fast flowing stream of stories and ideas.

      Sign Up for my newsletter. You will never be spammed. I'm far too busy writing and working with children​ for that!
