About Me
I’m a children’s writer and I live in Galway, Ireland. As a mum of four, my house is always noisy but never, ever dull! I worked for a long time as an English teacher and I love helping children to discover the magic of books. I’ve also worked as a sixth century monk in a heritage park and as a burger-flipper in a fast food restaurant! I like writing stories about children who find themselves in difficult situations and have to find the courage to discover a way out. My stories are a celebration of empathy, neurodiversity and the power to change. I love poetry so I write my novels in verse, I think we are all poets deep down inside our hearts.
