Vendor Biography

About the Author

I’m a Derbyshire ‘girl’, born and raised in the county, and I have always lived and worked here. I started life in Newbold where I attended the Church school and then progressed to St. Helena Girls’ High School in Chesterfield.

If I had been told back then that I would one day have a book published, I would have thought the suggestion was ridiculous. I write in rhyme and wonder whether that originated from my love of ‘Rupert’ books as a child when I only ever read the rhyming couplets beneath the pictures, never the full story!

I had written a few rhymes for friends who were celebrating special occasions in their lives but then the idea came to attempt a children’s story. “Alfie’s Story” was the result.
