House of Spies

I am the author of over 30 books for children - many sold abroad as well as the UK. I was born in Monte Carlo, where my father had a gambling systerm which failed! Since then I have lived in England but enjoy travelling abroad on holiday. I have two children and two step-children - also grand-children. I paint and sometimes sell pictures - go to church but recently, have been attending Quaker meetings. I love talking to friends (too much!). reading, walking our dog Toby, visiting schools to talk about my books - have been all over UK, visited Texas schools and also a French Lycee. I have recently been teaching adults Creative Writing. I also enjoy ballet, theatre, film and some TV.
