About The Tail of Emily Windsnap
My first book actually started out as a poem. One day, I was sitting at home staring into space (a very important part of any writer's life) and a couple of lines came into my head, which I quickly scribbled down...…
Mary Penelope lived on a boat,
Which was all very well, but it didn't quite float.…
I worked on the poem for a few weeks and sent it to a good friend and very special writing-buddy, Lee Weatherly, who liked it very much. She sent it to her editor, who suggested I try turning it into a novel instead of a poem. So I thought about it, scratched my head, went ‘hmmm’ for a bit…and then got to work! And that's how The Tail of Emily Windsnap came about!
