Kidscreen 2024
I had the great pleasure to join an amazing panel discussion at the Kidscreen Summit, 2024, held for the first time in San Diego. Host Jesse Cleverly delved into issues around the teen / YA demographic and how we can reach and entertain this important audience. The other guests were Sarah Muller from BBC, producer […]
Starting Up Waterside Studios
I’m excited to share that I’m joining Corus Entertainment to launch Waterside Studios, a new, internationally-focused studio business that is part of Corus’ strategy to “own and control content”; one of their strategic pillars to become a “content powerhouse.” Big news…I have just relocated from London to Canada for this opportunity, and am excited to […]
MetaWars at Ten
It’s not every day one creates the future, but ten years ago today, on a muggy August morning, Hachette published my debut novel, METAWARS: FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE, and it eerily predicted much of what’s come since.

I was reminded a few weeks ago when 2021 turned to 2022 that this is the 10th anniversary of the publication of the first MetaWars novel. How time flies! I first put pen to paper (yes, actual paper!) in the Spring of 2010. I’d left a senior job at a production company to embark on […]
Going on (Virtual) Tour
Every time a new book launches, one of the most fun things to accompany the launch is a series of in person events; usually school visits and book-shop signings. But, this being 2021, things were a big different this month when Dino Knights published from Scallywag Press. It was all virtual, and I went on […]
