I live in Middlesbrough and I'm a writer. (I'm the one on the right without a laser gun.) I write picture books and bonkers adventure stories for anyone who wants to read 'em!

 

I've written two crazy, hilarious novels so far: The Unbelievable Biscuit Factory, which won the New Writing North Children's Novel Award in 2019, and Happytown Must Be Destroyed which never won nothing but I still love it dearly. They are both published by Hachette.

​

My first ever picture book, Help! We Need a Story, is published by Little Tiger. It's about a monkey making up stories to amuse his friends. It is semi-autobiographical. It's got a disco submarine, a robot shark and plenty of pink ice cream. Something for everyone! It's illustrated by Mariajo Illustrajo so of course it's a treat for the eyes.

​

And in 2028 I've got a book about Father Christmas, illustrated by the mighty Paddy Donnelly, publshed by Anderson Press. HOW MANY MORE SLEEPS UNTIL IT'S OUT!? Many, many more sleeps.

I am represented by Alice Williams Literary.
