about this author
Born in East London of Irish parents, I learned about stories from my mother who was a great talker and a natural story teller. I had a very intense Catholic upbringing, educated by nuns and Jesuit priests. This gave me a lot of experiences to draw on, some of which I could have done without. After leaving home, I went to university in Liverpool then returned to London where I have lived ever since.
I write fantasy and YA/children's novels. My most recent book in the US is called The Cracked Mirror; my most recent book in the UK is called Nathaniel Wolfe and the Bodysnatchers.

Hello Im Maddy And I Read Jaocbs Ladder A Few Weeks Ago. I Thought The Storyline Was Good And Interesting But Being Me I Got Confused Near The Middle Of The Book. There Were So Many Questions That I Wanted The Answers To Which Made Me Read On.
What Made You Come Up With Such A Fasinating Story Line As It Is?
Thank-You
Maddy =]
