Writing has always been my passion. It was my favourite hour a week at primary school, and I started on my first, truly abysmal book as a teenager.

Benedict Brown answered Sarah's question: I adore your books and have become completely engrossed! I was hesitant to begin your newest series because I thought there’s no way it can compare to Lord Edgington’s mysteries. But I’m so glad I did!

“If my tone isn’t clear enough, I think it’s fair to say that I’ve never been a fan of my school’s educational methods. Though my father always insisted that Oakton Academy was where he learnt to be a man, I’ve yet to discover exactly what he would have turned into otherwise.”
