- About Me
- I'm the author of two books on Virginia Woolf and two novels for children, the first of which, 'Zelah Green: Queen of Clean' was shortlisted for the Waterstones Book Prize 2009 and is being considered for television serialisation and the second of which is due out in 2010. I'm a freelance literary consultant, reviewer and live near Chichester Harbour with my lovely husband Tim and my little cat. I like to create strong, feisty and unusual teen heroines for my child readers and really enjoy the feedback I get from them on my website.
