I was born in Tunbridge Wells, Kent and we lived in the country, surrounded by horses, hop fields
and orchards. I was pony mad and lucky enough to have ponies of my own. My very first pony
was a shaggy Shetland called Muffet.

I’ve loved writing stories for as long as I can remember. Charmseekers presented me with the
challenge to write an intriguing saga in 13 parts; I learnt many new skills as a writer and loved
creating and developing all the characters. Like my heroine, Sesame Brown, I was on an exciting
quest – scary but fun.

I’m married to an artist. We live in Cornwall, not far from the rugged North Cornwall coast – a
great place for inspiration. I have two daughters, three stepchildren and one lazy cat called Miss
Molly, who likes to sleep in the airing cupboard. I have several young nieces too, and they are
among my most critical and demanding reviewers!
