Does it sound grand to say I have always written? It took me thirty years to get published, but now the second in the series of Albert the tortoise picture books is launching.
One of my earliest memories is winning a prize for writing - and drawing. I was about 5 years old. It was a story about how milk became chocolate for a competition run by Cadbury's. The prize was chocolates and a certificate. My drawing was not that good. Fortunately, I've teamed with illustrator Eoin Clarke for Albert Upside Down and now Albert and the Wind. His pictures are definitely superior.
