Informationen zum Autor Growing up in London, I spent a lot of time sitting on the Underground, daydreaming and reading books. Historical adventures in far-flung lands were always my favourites, and I used to love visiting castles and ruins. After I left home, I lived in Japan for a while and learned all about the Samurai. Now I've swapped the city for the countryside and as well as reading books I also write stories and plays for young people. The thing I like most about being a writer is playing around with ideas for stories in my head, which is daydreaming really so not much has changed!
