The daughter of a folk musician, I grew up in the lovely coastal town of Brixham in South Devon.
My childhood was spent enjoying the simple things in life; walking in the woods, swimming in the sea, connecting with nature and spending time with family. These experiences have very much influenced my writing.
I was inspired to write Bettie Honeybee one summer's day in 2020, after watching a little bee tend flowers at Fenworthy Reservoir on Dartmoor.
