  • In which I am the judge of the Honiton Writers’ Children’s Storywriting Competition

    The Honiton and District Writers’ Group short story competition for children has been running since 2009, the same year my first book was published. So I like to think we’re in it together. I’ve judged all three events and enjoyed both the reading of the entries and  the presenting of the awards. The 2011 event …

  • fresh from unputdownable, Bristol Festival of Literature

    What a great day. A group of enormously positive folk decided to launch the first Bristol Festival of Literature, called ‘unputdownable’.

  • Westbury Leigh and me

    I spent Friday morning at Westbury Leigh CE Primary School running two separate workshops with Years 4 and 5. The day started and finished badly thanks to the ridiculous traffic.

It’s actually quite good timing because Wimbledon will be over and …

    It’s Monday, which is a work day as everyone knows, so why am I watching telly in the afternoon? Because it rained yesterday and so the final at Queen’s club was postponed. Murray is perched, could go either way. I used to watch tennis with my dad, on a tiny screen – probably a quarter …

  • assembly at Christchurch

    It’s storytelling week at Christchurch, so I told the children a story. It was called ’10 Names that Changed a Life’. The life was mine, and the change was from working in a bank to being a published children’s writer. Thankfully the story has highs and lows so I didn’t need to invent anything to …

  • about me

    I was born in Canada, but grew up in middle England, brought up on village fetes, Victoria sponge and pond dipping. I like short words better than long ones, celeriac more than cabbage, and ride a bike covered in bright green gaffer tape. I write in my study hidden behind a bookcase somewhere in north …
