I was born and brought up in London and still live there. I've written poetry and picture books, short and long fiction and educational books and plays, all for young readers. VIKING BOY (Walker Books) has been very successful, particularly in schools, and ANGLO-SAXON BOY (Walker Books) - the story of one boy's involvement in the Battle of Hastings - won the Historical Association's Young Quills Award in 2018. ROMAN BOY (Walker Books) came out in 2024, and GREEK BOY IN 2026, both taking the same formula into the ancient world. I've also written a non-fiction book about the Vikings - VIKING BOY: THE REAL STORY (Walker Books) is a companion to VIKING BOY and is narrated by Gunnar, hero of the novel. Other highlights include WINTER OF THE WOLVES (Bloomsbury Educational), the story of how the tale of Beowulf came to Britain, QUEEN OF DARKNESS (Bloomsbury Educational), my take on the Boudica story, and A BAD DAY FOR JAYDEN (Barrington Stoke), a contemporary story about a boy who is helped through a bad time by his teacher. BRUNO AND FRIDA (Barrington Stoke) is a story about a German boy refugee and the dog he encounters at the end of World War 2, and won a Young Quills Award in 2023. I write articles and do school visits and Zoom/Teams sessions with classes. I'm a Fellow of The Royal Society of Literature, and also a Fellow of The Historical Association. You can find me on Instagram, Facebook and Threads.
