Massive thanks Caroline Green for this great endorsement - I'm so grateful to Caroline's brilliant Crime Writing Course at City University... despite having to duck out of the class sometimes as I'm such a wuss... am a fan of CS Green & Cass Green books too so it's extra fab!

My books all have flawed characters, with egos, who act out +make mistakes because humans are flawed! I donโ€™t like reading perfectly good characters. No one is perfect + itโ€™s important for kids to know that too! Imp for them to know you can make things better if you mess up โค๏ธ

Proud of my friend Carla M for her excellent story in London Feeds Itself. Also jealous that it gets its own table at Foyles.
