| Biography As a child I was a terrible daydreamer (or terribly good, depending on how you look at it) and from the age of seven I knew I wanted to be a writer - because then, I thought, I could get away with daydreaming all day....though of course it turned out to be a lot harder than that. At last, after a degree in English Language and Literature, editing a small magazine, teaching, and being a freelance journalist - plus a whole lot of daydreaming - my dream came true and nowadays I write fiction, mostly for young people. I live in Glasgow with my husband, my daughter and her extremely spoiled rabbit. |
