The first books I remember are those read to me by my father. They were Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking glass. It was then I fell in love with the art of story telling. Now I am a grown woman and lucky to have numerous grandchildren, nephews and a niece. Over the years they have pleaded with me to tell them stories, especially at bedtime. In doing so I have learnt what keeps young minds interested, what fuels imagination and what makes a book good fun to read.

I am married, have a mad Cockapoo called Max who I adore, and a love of life.
