Author School Visits

I’ve been a published author since 1977 – initially for older readers but since 2007, also for children.  My Sebastian Darke books have been translated into many different languages and are published around the world.  I have also been shortlisted for several major book awards.

The best thing about being a children's author?
Meeting your audience!

I'm a regular visitor to schools and libraries across the UK - I love to meet young readers, to introduce them to the characters I have created and to champion the delights and rewards of reading.

Literacy has never been a more important issue and I create the books that your pupils love to read..
