I'm the author of the critically acclaimed Our Child of the Stars. (Blushes) The LA Times called it,'A wonderfully emotional heartwarming journey of what it really means to be a parent'. Amazing Stories said 'A solid work of science fiction that never loses sight of its emotional core.' My grandmother told me I read too much. I remember walking in the garden when I was small, telling myself stories. In August 2012 in a caravan, in a field, up a mountainous rocky track that made a hired 4×4 essential, in Wales, in the rainiest summer fortnight I can remember … there, I sat and started my first novel. It was a lot of work and a lot of fun. That book has yet to find its home in the world, but it made me sure I would write other books. Our Child of the Stars began as a short story I wrote for Halloween in 2013. I became obsessed with Gene and Molly, and Cory, the little boy they adopt, under such challenging circumstances. I am working on the second part of the duology, Our Child of Two Worlds. I was born in the States but have lived pretty much all my life in England.
