Welcome to my new website!

Meet my amazing web team!

Back in the summer when I had the idea to completely re-do my nine-year-old website, I envisaged it as an arduous administrative task not a life-affirming process. But then I guess it all comes down to who you choose to work with. In my case, it was a dear friend Nora Rose Zinerman who offered to be my website ‘doula’ and guide me through the steps.

Learning to ‘embody my brand’ and then plan a photoshoot with Nora felt creative and exciting, and when she introduced me to photographer Cara Mia Petersen, I knew immediately she was a kindred creative spirit and that it was going to be a lot of fun working with her too.

I am very proud of the results: a website that’s driven by Cara Mia’s gorgeous photography, and a concept that really communicates what I have to offer as an author – whether it’s my readers, their parents or their teachers who are visiting this site to learn more.

So please have a good look around, email me with any questions or comments you might have, sign up to receive my newsletter, and do come back from time to time, because I will be putting up more content.
