Hello!
Let me introduce myself. I'm a writer, blogger and English teacher based in Warwickshire, and I'm very happy that you're visiting my site. Thank you :)
My second book 'Miss, What Does Incomprehensible Mean?' was released in May 2020! It's a funny but poignant memoir of a typical year in my teaching life in which it's not only the pupils who misbehave ... Do click the Books tab to find out more or you can watch me talking about the book here on Youtube. Enjoy!
Order direct from SPCK or from Amazon
and it's listed by Blackwell's, Foyles, the Telegraph Bookshop, Waterstones and others. Most of all, though, I'd love you to order from my local indie bookshop www.warwickbooks.net who will send to anywhere in the UK

A bit more about me
I'm a middle-aged, pedantic-about-apostrophes, English-teaching, book-obsessed, cardigan-wearing grandmother with a keen eye for the funny, absurd side of life. What I observe, I put down in writing. Over the last 20 years, I've been published on-line and off-line, most notably on education in TES and emagazine and in faith publications such as Woman Alive.
I'm a member of the Society of Authors and the Association of Christian Writers. In 2016-2017 I was selected for the prestigious Writing West Midlands Room 204 mentorship programme for emerging writers.
Find out more about me by reading my mini-biog - link at top of page - and having a general browse elsewhere. Enjoy!
