I love to be close to nature. My grandparents had a farm and I spent most of my time there as a child. They taught me about nature, wild animals and farm animals. My favourite place to write is in Wales. I stay at a little county village by the sea, with cliffs and sandy beaches, there are even dolphins in the bay! At home the garden inspires me, I have lots of trees and flowers in my garden which attracts many wild birds. There's even a waterfall, the sound of running water soon inspires me because it makes me relax.

I make lots of spidergrams ( flow charts) I don't try to force a story. I let lots of ideas flow onto the chart. Sometimes I put the ideas on post it notes then I can re arrange them in a sequence later. I then sleep on the ideas. It's amazing where the plots come from after I've slept on the ideas.

I am doing what I have always wanted to do, tell stories to children. I like to learn and I am constantly learning. I love to encourage others to learn, I think it must be the teacher in me! I also enjoy illustrating as well, so I'm lucky to be able to take all those magic stories and pictures in my head and put them in a printed book, or a kindle book. I also delight in telling stories through Drama and making animations. I continue to present a weekly radio program, so that I use my writing skills to make short stories called radio links.

Write from the heart. A story grows just like a child. You have a basic plan, but it's amazing what you discover as you become engrossed in a fantasy world.

I'm illustrating a picture book at the moment. The story brings back memories of my childhood.

I started to think about an old brick wall, and then posed the question, "What lies behind the old brick wall?" Amazing... This took me on an adventure with Featherpaws. I have just published the first Featherpaws, Knights of Owl Crest. I'm now working on my second Featherpaws book.
