Current news

Lao Lao of Dragon Mountain is 25 years old!

This autumn I am celebrating the publication of my first book,
Lao Lao of Dragon Mountain, which was first published in the autumn  of 1996. Little did I know that it would still be in print 25 years later! Published by Alanna Max
 

Projects I'm involved in

This will be my third year taking part in #BookPenPals

​

What is BookPenPals?

​

BookPenPals pairs UK authors and illustrators with UK schools to make book recommendations via postcards. Schools reply with a postcard of their own. The Pen Pals pairings last for one school year

​

Pairing will be happening very shortly
