I write novels for older children and young adults. Some of them are fantasies and some are thrillers with a historical setting, mixed with suspense and romance. You can read all about me and my books here, starting with my latest novels, The House of Eyes and The Ship of Spectres, for Middle Grade readers.
All my books are published by Hodder Children’s Books, and are also available on Kindle or as eBooks.
