At the moment, I'm writing a non-fiction book about health and well-being. I'm a hypnotherapist so I have been inspired by all my clients over the years as well as by my own journey to find happiness.
I get inspired to write children's books from all sorts of places: other stories, poems, children I know, and memories from being a primary school teacher.

I get all my ideas in bed as I am drifting off to sleep. The idea for The Drabidull came from the many young people I saw as a therapist who were struggling with self-esteem and self-confidence.
