Welcome to my website! Here you can find out all about me and my books.

I have been writing stories all my life but only started to try to get published a few years ago. My first book, Moondance, was published by Andersen Press in 2004. Since then, I have had lots of books published with different publishers.

If you have come here to find out about
Red Tears,  my novel for teenagers about self-harm, then try visiting the Red Tears website to read more.

 I also write a series of books for 9-13s called Sweet Hearts under the name Jo Cotterill. To find out more about them, go to www.ilovesweethearts.co.uk where you can also read my almost-daily blog!
