Narinder and I go back about 20 years - we used to teach together and have remained firm friends. She writes great books.
Anne lives about a mile from me and we sometimes meet up for a coffee. She writes brilliant crime novels for teenagers.
Mark and I have met several times at the Kids’ Lit Quiz. He writes great fantasy novels.
The Scattered Authors Society – a group of about 150 authors who write for kids and meet up once in a while so that writing doesn’t seem such an isolated job.
My long-suffering agent, who painstakingly proof-reads and corrects all the spelling and grammatical errors Microsoft doesn’t pick up!
My publisher - G-Press

The Kids’ Lit Quiz is a fantastic even run in the UK and many other countries all over the world. It’s the brainchild of quiz master Wayne Mills and is huge fun. Get your school to enter this year!
