When, at the age of nine, I was asked what I wanted to be, I told my teacher ‘illustrator’. Back then I didn’t know how hard it would be to achieve, or where it would take me. Neither did I realise how much luck I’d need, and how much help I’d receive from very generous agents and publishers in order to remain working, but here I am. I’m still drawing and still hoping to be a good illustrator one day. When I’m not drawing and painting or writing, I’m usually drinking coffee and staring out of the window at nothing in particular. I buy too many books, and read too few of them. Occasionally I find an abandoned bird’s nest or a perfect seashell and all is well with the world.
I am the author of We Were Wolves, published by Anderson Press. Read more about We Were Wolves here. And listen to a podcast with the Reading Zone here.
