About the Author
I grew up in London, UK (into a roadrunner) . I began writing stories and poetry when I was just a little girl, and was well known by my teachers, friends, and family to rhyme about anything that meant something to me. If you re lucky, I will allow you to see some of my writing, which I have kept safe for over twenty five years! But you might have to visit me in my little Hobbit house in the Shire to see it!
