Though I was born in the South of England - my parents moved back to the North when I was one year old, and I have lived in Yorkshire ever since. I spent a few years as an infant teacher, but when my children were young I started making picture books for them and became hooked on writing. I love drawing and painting, but my main love is writing, often using the legends and history around me as inspiration.
Meadow Hall Shopping Centre used to be the famous Steelworks in Sheffield. Jenny and her brother Steve somehow go back in time when they meet by the bronze statues of three steelmen. This is the first book in the Slip-Time series, followed by Night of the Red Devil and Scavenger Boy.
