My latest book is out today! A Dancer's Dream began life as a short story I wrote for the anthology Winter Magic which tells the story of the first performance of the classic Christmas ballet, 'The Nutcracker'.
I loved writing the story and was so delighted when the wonderful team at Simon & Schuster Children's Books said they’d like to turn it into an illustrated book, with artwork by one of my favourite illustrators, the brilliant Lizzy Stewart.
The resulting book is a real treasure — exactly the right kind of thing to find under the tree on Christmas morning, or read together by the fire on Christmas Eve. As well as Lizzy’s stunning artwork, there’s glittering gold foil, and all kinds of beautiful detail. Here’s a little more about the story:
In snow -covered St. Petersberg, young dancer Stana’s dreams have finally come true – she has been chosen to play the lead role in Tchaikovsky’s new ballet, 'The Nutcracker'. But with all eyes on her, can Stana overcome her nerves and dance like she’s never danced before…?
A Dancer's Dream is out now, and you can buy it from all good bookshops. There's also a very special exclusive edition available only from independents, which contains a beautiful print signed by both me and Lizzy. Please do support a bricks-and-mortar bookshop if you can - it's more important than ever to support our bookshops to keep them going on our high streets!
Alternatively order via Bookshop.org.uk - a fantastic new website which allows you to order books online, and have them sent to you at home, but which also helps to support independent bookshops. You can buy A Dancer's Dream here.
You can also find my author page here with links to buy all my books, as well as lots more books I recommend.

My time with a Call Girls Delhi was one of the most relaxing nights I’ve had in a long time. She was sweet and so attractive.
