The Accidental Author

I’m just an ordinary North London girl, who grew up in a loving family and had a normal life. I’ve had various jobs, and am now happily married and mummy to one beautiful and amazing daughter. So, how did I end up an author?

One day, when she was about 2 years old, my daughter started shouting at me ‘Mystic Bunny Boy!’ in a kinda crazy voice! I had no idea what she was on about, and neither did her nursery when I asked them! It wasn’t something she was reading or seeing on TV… What was this all about? It went on for months (and actually was often accompanied with a smack in the face!), and then suddenly the penny dropped!

I realised my daughter was ‘gifting’ me a character for a book! And funnily enough, as soon as I decided to write a book she stopped doing it! Since it was her idea, it made sense I wrote a book for her to enjoy… We often 'walk the rainbow' together before bedtime, so the basis of the story I tell her combined with her character resulted in Mystic Bunny Boy's first book - And that’s how I became an ‘accidental author’!
