Thanks for getting in touch! I haven't been to China, but I do know some of my books are published there and it's lovely to hear that Chinese children are enjoying them. Thanks again and happy reading! Julia

Write for the love of writing, not just to get published.

Getting completely lost in a story, so that everything else just disappears and you're living in a different world.

The book I'm currently working on is a rhyming one about bedtime and the lines that open the story just popped into my head. The book grew from there.

Reading! Reading other authors' picture books, reading poetry, reading pretty much anything. And just getting on with life - ideas pop up in the strangest places.

Winnie the Pooh and Piglet! They are very different, but complement each other - and they're funny.

Lots of different ways! When my children were younger they gave me lots of ideas - by trying to hatch anything egg-shaped (Fred and the Little Egg), asking me to fix an autumn leaf back on a tree (Ferdie/Fletcher and the Falling Leaves) or being sprinkled with snow-like blossom (Ferdie's Springtime Blossom/Fletcher and the Springtime Blossoms). Rosie's Special Surprise came from a bouncy rhythm in my head, and for the current rhyming picture book I'm working on the opening lines just popped into my head.

I have just published my latest little poetry e-book, One Week of Football Poems, on Kindle, and am working on One Week of Spooky Poems to be published in the Autumn. I am also working on a new picture book, I Can't Sleep, with Sourcebooks.
