My first books were about teenage life and came from my own experiences and concerns. I was fourteen when I discovered the immense and liberating power of writing and it was my mainstay during my teenage years. Now I write to entertain my children and their friends.

I write lots of different styles of books and for a wide age-range – from picture books to teenage thrillers. I also write poetry for children and adults. I¡¯ve written spooky books, sci-fi, school stories, funny stories, horror (but not too much because it scares me!), thrillers, fairy tales, football¡¦ Writing different styles of story keeps me on my toes and helps to entertain me. That¡¯s one of the first rules of being a writer: you have to entertain yourself, otherwise how can you hope to entertain anyone else?

My work was featured in the BBC series English Express, which won a Children¡¯s BAFTA Award, and I appeared in two programmes in the award-winning Let¡¯s Write a Story series. I¡¯m a tutor in the Able Writers programme (set up by Brian Moses) and a frequent visitor to schools, libraries and festivals around the UK and abroad where I give talks, readings and performances, and run writing workshops.

My books have been shortlisted for and won a number of prizes. Billy Monster¡¯s Daymare won the Royal Mail Scottish Children¡¯s Book Award and the Portsmouth Children¡¯s Book Prize. Burger Boy also won the Portsmouth Prize and was broadcast in a programme in CITV¡¯s Bookaboo, which won both a Children¡¯s BAFTA Award and a British Animation Award. Football Fever won the Stockport Children¡¯s Book Award. Always and Forever was shortlisted for The Kate Greenaway Medal and Dear Tooth Fairy for the Children¡¯s Book Award.

I have now written over 100 books, which seems extraordinary to me when I think back to the rather reluctant writer that I was all those years ago in primary school!
