Biografía del autor

I was born in Dublin and moved to London when I was seven. I got my first typewriter when I was eight, had a poem I wrote about a snail published in a magazine when I was nine and that was it I was hooked on writing. Because I never thought I d actually be able to make a living as a writer, I decided I needed a trade to fall back on. So, naturally, I went to Sussex University to study philosophy. While my plan of being paid big bucks to think deep thoughts never quite worked out, I did land a job as a junior copywriter with an ad agency a week after graduating. I ve worked in advertising ever since, specialising in writing for videogames. When I m not writing ads for videogames featuring people being blown up, I write books for young adults featuring people being blown up. My greatest achievement was when Tom Baker (of Dr Who) flirted with me and told me a script I wrote was funny. He was being paid. I live in SW London with my husband, if we re not off travelling the world. When I m not writing I ve been known to fence and play guitar. Not at the same time. And both very badly.
