Hello! I am a children’s author, writing fantastical tales with a large helping of humour. My books include The Accidental Pirates (Waterstones Book of the Month, shortlisted for the Children’s Book Award); Storm Hound (winner of the Tir na n-Og award 2020); and Welsh Fairy Tales Myths and Legends (nominated for the Carnegie Medal 2022).
I grew up in Newport, South Wales. Thanks to my local library, I travelled all over the world, backwards and forward in time. I developed a lifelong obsession with myth and magic, but I still think Wales is the best place to live.
Now I live in the Welsh mountains with my husband and two cats, who are disappointingly unmagical, but I love them anyway.
When I’m not writing, I love visiting schools, libraries and festivals, sharing my love of stories and inspiring new readers and writers.
