She moved to London to study for an MA in Political Communications and after a few years as an autocue girl and a radio newsreader got a job with the Labour Party as a campaigns writer and Special Adviser. She now lives in Bath with her daughter and is a freelance speech writer. She has written many books and has been shortlisted twice for the Queen of Teen Award and also shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize.
