edit data

I've always loved animals, especially horses and I had my first short story published in a UK pony magazine at the age of 14. Since then, 40 books for children and teenagers, plus hundreds of short stories (including award winners), comic strips, poems and articles have been published internationally.

I'm a supporter of animal charities, and donate all my author royalties from my e-books of the Matty Horse and Pony Adventures to Redwings Horse Sanctuary. I donate author royalties from my e-book Coming Home, an emotional story of the journey of two Norwegian Forest cats, to Cats Protection.

My books and stories have been translated into 9 languages and short stories and articles have appeared in print and online in the USA and UK.
