I wrote a silly picture book called How to Hide From Humans when I was 21. I found an agent with Christopher Little in London, the same agent as JK Rowling, and I proudly sat opposite Val Hudson from Headline publishing.
I have since penned three more novels, The Squirrel that Dreamt of Madness, Life Knocks and Deep in the Bin of Bob. My second novel Life Knocks was shortlisted for the world respected Dundee International Book Prize, beating thousands of authors from around the globe. The prize was judged by Stephen Fry and Philip Pullman.
As a content marketing expert, words come easy because I was an author first. I've been writing since I was fourteen years old. I've taught myself how to edit and how to spot a mistake. In total I am the author of 3 novels and a funny picture book. Some people talk about writing a book, I write them. That might give you an idea of the type of person I am to work with. If I am working with you, I'll get the job done. Books are all about delivering creative ideas in a way that connects and engages an audience - that's what successful content marketing campaigns do.
