The Author Hotline
is
being developed by CW4K, or Creative Writing 4 Kids. They are the company behind a website that enables children to create and publish their own stories online. In its first year it has signed up over 2000 members and has been enthusiastically received by children, parents and teachers. In fact the response has been so encouraging that they are planning a huge expansion of its services. Embedding The Author Hotline into the site is part of that expansion...

Q: What did you want to be when you were a child?

Q: What is your most treasured possession?
Well, they aren't possessions, but what I treasure the most is my family.
Q: What do you do as a hobby?
I don't get very much time to do hobbies because when I am not illustrating I am looking after my 4 daughters. We live in Cornwall, a few miles from the beach, so we try to spend a lot of time there and we have an allotment too, but we don't really spend that much time there. I also crochet cupcakes because I LOVE cupcakes but I don't like to eat them! To keep fit I do YOGA.
Q: What strange habits do you have?
When I have to empty the dishwasher I put the kettle on and race it - I have to empty the dishwasher before the kettle boils. Then I reward myself with a cup of tea! I also cannot sit and read a magazine until I have the whole house tidy - I think that is a Mum thing!

Roast peppers, mushrooms and courgettes with feta cheese - yum!

Much, much younger! My eldest daughter is 14 and sometimes I can still feel that young too!

My Grandfather on my Dad's side of the family - I only just recently saw a photo of him and I just wished I had got the opportunity to meet him. He died when my Dad was 6.
Q: What quality do you most admire in a person?
Honesty, integrity and humour.

It's a quote I read and it is the code I now live by "You can't change the direction of the wind, but you can adjust your sails"

I wish I could relax more, the second I sit still I think of something else I want to achieve!

A daydreamer! I came alive in art lessons though!

A messy room!
