She was born in London where she still lives and loved stories but not reading. She wanted to be a film derector and went to university to study filmwritting. After university, she found a book she loved and fell into the magical world of reading. Her first book was The Crooked Sixpence.

Most stories she heard as a child were told to her by her sister on the way to school. She wrote her first book during lunchbreaks when she worked at a bookshop.
