Author Biography

This is our second book and we are just as excited as with 'Jess the Goth Fairy'. We are especially delighted as the character Maxie is named after a competition winner during the launch of our first book. The journey we have had with our first book has taken us to schools, colleges and even talks to new police officers, which is so exciting. To watch Jess grow in confidence with every visit has been wonderful so we hope this book will take us even further to spreading the message: 'it's okay to be different because we are all the same inside!'
