In my former lives I’ve been an Olympian, triple Commonwealth fencing gold medallist, Oxford English graduate and award-winning executive creative director in advertising. Now I’m a children’s author, following my wildest dream of all . . .

My first book draws on my experiences in fencing and film sets: Sister To A Star is a thrilling mystery about warring twins in a swash-buckling Hollywood movie. My second book uses my understanding of high-level sport: Winner Takes Gold is a gripping adventure about sabotage on an elite gymnastics camp.

In my spare time I relax by skiing, climbing, running and yoga. All while raising two boys who bring me more joy than all my dreams put together.

However, if your daughter liked Sister To A Star, I'm sure she'll love Winner Takes Gold. It's also a mystery adventure full of great characters, and although it's set in a gymnastics world it's not just for gymnastics fans at all. Best, Eloise (less)

“Friendships are fragile and must be protected, because once broken, they can’t always be fixed.”
Eloise Smith, Winner Takes Gold

“Gymnastics gave her the power to snuff out gravity, fly like a bird and draw rainbows in the air. There was no medal she’d swap for that.”
Eloise Smith , Winner Takes Gold
