My first children's novel, THE 13 TREASURES, won the Waterstone's Children's Book Prize. THE OTHER ALICE won the Calderdale Book of the Year Award. A PINCH OF MAGIC won a Dutch Bronze Pen Award. My books have been translated and sold in 24 territories worldwide.

My latest novel is TWICE UPON A TIME, publishing in April 2024 in the UK. My first picture book, THERE'S A BEACH IN MY PANTS! publishes in the UK in June 2024 and is illustrated by the incredible David Tazzyman.

Before becoming a full-time writer I worked in publishing as an editor, and before that, as a bookseller. Prior to that, I worked in bars, a bakery, and a second-hand record shop to make ends meet while trying to get my first book deal. I live in Essex and have a son, Jack, and two cats, Marmite and Widdershins.
