About Me
I am a children's author and educator from Bristol, England. Many of my books feature dinosaurs, not just because children love them, but because my husband is a palaeontologist and excellent fact checker.
Having taught primary school for over ten years, I have presented at many book and science festivals, and love doing events at schools, museums and bookshops.
I live in the beautiful city of Edinburgh, Scotland.
