​I'm an English girl living in New Zealand, raising two readers with confused accents and more books than I have shelf space for. I write. A lot. Mostly tucked away in my office with a dog curled up at my feet in the wee small hours of the morning, while the rest of the house sleeps. Sometimes in the car waiting for dance class to finish. On Mondays it's one of three cafes with a huge caramel latte and a view of the Cook Strait. No matter where I am, I'm never happier than those moments when my writing truly takes me away, and I'm in a realm where magic is real, princesses are more than expected, and assassins aren't quite what they seem.
