She has written more than 100 books. Long ones, short ones, modern and historical, funny, sad, serious and silly.
Formerly a teacher, she loves visiting schools and libraries.
She lives in a small village in Bedfordshire, England but is always happy to travel to talk about her work.
On the rare days not filled by reading or writing, she enjoys gardening, cooking, walking, swimming, discussing books with friends and going to the theatre.

Upcoming Events
Visit to Westwood Primary School, March, Cambridgeshire on Tuesday 29th November.
I’m looking forward to visiting all the Early Years in this large primary school which has Class Two at the Zoo on the curriculum.
New book, Cheeky Chick, coming out! With illustrator Tom Knight. Not sure when yet.
Only just heard and waiting for first glimpse of Tom’s pictures.
SO excited!

WORLD BOOK DAY 2023
Booked!
Wilby CEVC Primary School, Suffolk.
Head Teacher, Roisin Wiseman, reminded me I was last there in 2018, when I got snowed in and had to stay the night. Hoping for better weather this time!
If you’d like me to visit next March please send me an email.

Before that, on Tuesday 6 December 2022 I’m returning to The Beacon School, Chesham Bois, Amersham.
I go to this school every year as Hangman is on the Y7 curriculum. They love the anti-bullying message and the links with WW II.
We’ve been zooming recently but this year I’m REALLY going! Do hope they like the new edition of Hangman. I think they will as they helped choose the cover.
Even better, I’m also going to see Nursery, Reception and Years 1 and 2.
They’ll be Joining In With Julia having fun with picture books. Must remember my pirate hat! ADD pic Class Three All At Sea.
