The story of me. My journey to becoming a children’s author started as a child. I was thoughtful and creative with a big imagination. ‘Shy’ out in the world but where I was comfortable I was completely different. I was often lost in my imagination. I had difficulty speaking out in the world too, something which I now know to be situational mutism, something which I’ve struggled with as an adult as well. Working out I’m autistic took far too many years and is something which I’m still not ready to accept fully but I’m getting there. Now I get to help children to find their voice, to help them make sense of the world and to hopefully connect them to other people too. And bring a little bit of joy. It’s taken a long time to get here but it was worth the wait!
