The The Winter of Enchantment
The House called Hadlows

A long time ago I wrote these two books for children. They were out of print for many years. I had almost forgotten them and thought everyone else had too. To my surprise and great pleasure they have been rediscovered and are now being re-printed by Fidra Books in the United Kingdom and by Purple House press in the USA.

The story of the rediscovery

SFX magazine in December 2006 contained an article and interview which can be seen on the Fidra Books site

Work in progress:
I am working on novel number eight.

News:
My books for children, written more than 30 years ago, are now published again in the UK and USA. See the 'Children's Books' page.

'A Girl's Guide to Kissing Frogs' (HarperCollins, 2007) has been short-listed for the Melissa Nathan Award 2008.

Blog
I started a weblog a year ago as somewhere to jot down my thoughts about the things that interest me day to day and occupy my thoughts when not writing a novel. It has yet to develop beyond the first entry - but it will, it will. You can visit it here.
