Profile
- About Me
- I started life sensibly and pursued a career as a lawyer, driven by my social justice leanings and love of To Kill a Mockingbird. But like many writers before me, I quit being sensible to follow my bliss. Writing is an itch that's got to be scratched. I do it for love; but money's good too.
So far into this journey, I'm a writer of YA and children's fiction...

- What are you working on at the moment?
- Not long finished rewriting my YA novel - a major brow-beating overhaul. It's a near-futuristic mash-up of social realism, paranormal and dystopia - "para-topia/ dys-normal"??
Also working on several other ideas for more contemporary straight YA fiction.
- If you had to recommend just one children's book you've read in the last year, what would it be?
- As the mom of a young toddler, it would have to be GO THE F* TO SLEEP by Adam Mansbach. Hmmm, that one's more adult really.
So far this year, SCBWI's very own Miriam Halahmy's HIDDEN gets my vote.
- What is the most important thing you learned about writing or illustrating this year?
- "Writing is rewriting"...
And never give up
Book signing at -the now historical - Borders, Islington London.
