My passion for travelling and my desire to inspire others has been the inspiration for my writing. Drawing from my unusual life experiences, due to my sense of adventure, I have had many a quirky encounter with an assortment of creatures big and small. From hugging a gorilla in Rwanda to a chance meet with a small Spanish snail called Ernie found lurking in the vegetable box in my fridge whilst living in Spain. Through this I have gathered together a vault of material and ideas to continuing writing many more stories for a young and imaginative audience.
