I started my working career as a teacher, and then I moved into the business world. I have worked in local government. More recently I have retired and now spend my time writing for children and undertaking voluntary work.
I have been inspired to write my books as I feel passionate about children learning to read at a young age. I have been a Governor at a local primary school and regularly help children with their reading.
