I grew up in Auckland, New Zealand. When I was nine years old, I started telling bedtime stories to my Godsister about creatures from another world called Shadows. Every one in our world had a Shadow of their own a world away, a counterpart they had been missing all along.

Now there are six novels in the completed Shadows Series with a new four book series on the way. The books have been loved by readers all over the world. I've run school talks, writing workshops and book launches where attendees have gotten to draw what their own Shadows would look like!
