I have Welsh and Spanish ancestry, which might be why you can find so many myths and legends in my work. The book that inspired me to start writing fantasy fiction was "Lord of the Rings" by JRR Tolkien. I've read it 11 times. |

One of the best things about writing my kind of books is that I have readers all around the world. Here I am with Mikiel, the Agenda Kids Club mascot, during my Seven Fabulous Wonders tour of Malta in 2007.

I am also a fantasy heiress! I own a tiny part of Manhattan island in New York, since mine is one of the many families who might have a claim to the legendary Edwards-Hall millions. If you want to know more about me, these links will take you to some interviews: |
I was born in Torquay UK in 1962, and spent my childhood roaming the beaches of Devon and Cornwall collecting strange creatures from rock pools. Later I ventured north to the University of Bath, where I collected a first class degree in Mathematics... this didn't teach me how to write, but it helps me understand my royalty statements!
I enjoy horse riding and worked with racehorses for ten years. This is a photo of me riding a horse called Lomand along Lisadell beach in Ireland on the Yeats Trail. I like to ski whenever I can escape to the mountains in winter. At home I ride a bicycle (because it doesn't eat as much as a horse) which keeps me fit for free.
