It’s launch day! Welcome to my new author website

With illustrations by Natelle Quek and web design by Tara Sinclair, new site comes ahead of August 2024 book launch

It's website launch day!

After months of planning – and much scrutinising of font sizes! – it gives me great joy to be able to unveil my wonderfully shiny new website.

This has been a real team effort, made possible with the skill and hard work of some incredible talents in illustration and web design, as well as grant funding from Arts Council England.

Natelle Quek, a Malaysian-born illustrator who grew up in New Zealand, and now lives in Southeast England, has created the beautiful artwork you can spot around the site, as well as my new logo. 

Quek is the illustrator behind many much-loved children's picture books and middle grade titles including Wild Wild Wood (words by Anna Kemp), Once Upon A Storytime (words by Gareth Peter), I Am Nefertiti (words by Annemarie Anang) and Keep Dancing Lizzie Chu (words by Maisie Chan). 

Meanwhile, Tara Sinclair, a local freelance e-commerce specialist, is behind the website build and has used her in-depth knowledge of the digital landscape to help shape what is a wonderfully fresh and user-friendly design.

Sinclair runs her own website design and e-commerce company Sinclair Syngery as well as interiors business Roo's House. She has built websites for a range of clients from British milliner Jane Taylor London to local physiotherapist, Wargrave Physio.

I am forever thankful to both Natelle and Tara for the many hours they have put into the creation of this site; it simply wouldn't exist without you both! 

The website will provide a space for me to share author updates, news, and, of course, everything about my debut picture book, due to launch in August 2024. And if you're interested in quarterly updates, please sign up to my newsletter below!
