My Children’s Novel

I’ve always loved writing and decided to back myself and become an author. Having completed a year long writing course in 2021, my novel had approval from an ex Penguin editor for submission and The Wish That Saved Christmas was born - see below.

Creative Life

As well as writing and being a mum, I run my own creative business from my garden studio. I make jewellery, and write a blog about all things nature jewellery and creative living.
