A happy, award-winning children's writer who loves family, dogs and the countryside. Librarians are pretty high up on the list, too!

@juliegrnchs @BLM_Agency I've just finished a great (I think) fun adventure with a feisty heroine, a few pirates, a wizard and a pilot dragon. It's for 9-11 year olds. I'm much published (awards and everything!) but would like an agent. Would anyone in your agency be interested?

Got lots of school visits for Road to London so bought a used wedding dress and turned it into an Elizabethan frock.

'You must come to dinner' but never mean it. Can't believe you're so hypocritical @Woman'sHour. Why not say what you mean or say nothing?

Did my tweet get through? Did I succeed in following you? I love writing but tweeting is a mystery. All those messages flying in the air.
