"Strong writing, a distinctive voice and original concepts" - Kelpies Prize judges

About me

​

My bones grew out the ground in Zambia, where I was weaned on avocados and stories - but I'm not really 'from' any one place.

​

I live in Scotland with my family and work for a liberal arts college. Before writing for children, my work on migration and belonging, motherhood and minority identities was published in academic journals and books.

My writing dream

​

My writing dream is that my stories are enjoyed by children across Scotland and beyond, and touch some grown-up hearts along the way.
