Tell us about your books
My five book series is about a family of five siblings/cousins. When the youngest discovers a fairy door in the attic of their family’s ancestral castle, Castle Bloom, it sets off a chain reaction of secrets being uncovered and adventures beginning. The children must work together, alongside their new fairy friends, to put right a long history of misdeeds and secrets. Each book is told from the perspective of a different Bloom child. They are: Octavia Bloom and the Missing Key, Beatrice Bloom and the Star Crystal, Martha Bloom and the Glass Compass, Felicity Bloom and the Golden Arrow, and Otto Bloom and the Enchanted Coin.
Which books did you enjoy growing up?
The Chronicles of Narnia changed my life, when I discovered I could travel to other worlds by simply opening a book, I knew I had to create that same escapism myself.
What is your favorite food or foods?
Chocolate… chocolate cake… anything with chocolate in it really 😉
Tell us about your pets
My muse is our crazy Jack Russell terrier, Patch. He was actually the inspiration for a certain cheeky weasel in my book series.
What inspired you to write your book series?
I was an ambassador for a fairy door company and I began to wonder what would happen if a child actually went through the door… thus Octavia Bloom and the Missing Key was born.
Where is your favorite place to read?
With four children, I need to be inventive when I grab some reading time. I usually read a few chapters in the bath after my kiddos are in bed.
What do you like to do when you’re not writing?
I love anything creative – making things, designing graphics of merch for my series or home decor. I love spending time with my family, reading, and exploring castles.
As a child, what did you want to do when you grew up?
Be a writer! Dream accomplished 😍
What is a writing tip for aspiring authors?
Write with your heart, edit with your head.
