Words are the foundation of communication, sharing, learning and evolving - all of which can be done in a spirit of fun and playfulness. Although I have a degree in philosophy and enjoy complex ideas, it is the simple language used in children's books that really appeals to me. I like the way that humour can be used to surprise and delight little minds and hopefully my writing reflects this.
I've been scribbling things onto bits of paper for over twenty years, starting out in character licensing before moving into children's book design and illustration. I have drawn for Disney, Warner Bros, and every other cartoon company you can think of. For a while I was particularly busy with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Nowadays I scribble directly into the computer as well, creating colourful and hopefully happy illustrations. I also design, so I get to do all the layouts and artwork. I can't spell for toffee, but luckily that's not my department.
