Becoming a Children's Writer

It's been a long time since I blogged, so here I am saying hello and telling you what is new. I'm writing for children. It happened when I wasn't looking. I was looking at a purple starfish, and that turned into a story called Beach Baby. This board book for babies is published by Orca Book Publishers (2016) and illustrated by Elly MacKay who works in the medium of paper theatre. She paints the illustrations, hangs them in a theatre, and then photographs them. I feel extremely lucky to have her as the illustrator of my first book.
