I'm the author of over 50 books for children plus an historical novella for adults.
I have been published by such companies as Puffin, Andre Deutsch, Hamish Hamilton, Cambridge University Press, Anglia Young Books and Poolbeg Press, and I'm currently working on my third series for Sweet Cherry Publishing.
I have been teaching creative writing, as well as copy-editing and proof-reading, for over 15 years, and also do manuscript appraisals at very competitive rates.
A poor girl decides to help her family out and become a governess but has no experience, she gets sent to a family with no discipline or respect and than after a year has to find a new location with children that are still bratty and spoilt though while there she finds a friend who runs their church.
I liked this story it was sweet, this woman worked for nothing for herself and used all she earns to help her poor family, she worked with the worst children imaginable but still held herself together and in return for sticking it out she found herself with an opportunity to find someone really special.
I loved the simple romance you could see the instant that she saw him, it was sweet and natural which I love. It was a really great easy read, I love these classics made in an easier simpler way.
I love classics, but I don't have enough patience to actually read them, so the easy classic Brontë books are perfect. The target audience is children but I enjoyed it just as much!
