About Me

Hi, I am an aspiring children's author. I write teacher resources for primary school and illustrated children's non-fiction. I love anything to do with the supernatural and the Arthurian legends. My favourite all time thing is to eat take-away in front of a good movie with a nice glass of wine or Captain Morgan's.
