I'm a writer! 

By day I write copy for lots of different companies - and get paid, which is rather neat. The rest of the time I write screenplays, stories for children and YA novels - and I don't get paid for that which is less neat but I love doing it so much that I can't stop! One day...

Loads of people follow my daily blog, which is quite random but sometimes about what it's like to be a writer - here's the link - www.quirkyworks.co.uk

Aside from that, I've got the best family in the world - a husband, three sons, one and a half daughters-in-law, two horses and a dog - and nearly another dog, unless I can resist the puppy I'm about to view. Yeah right.

I live in rural East Sussex - the best of all possible worlds - stunning countryside, close to the seaside and only an hour from London.

How lucky am I?
