Hello!

Since I was a little girl, I’ve had two main passions: words and dance. So you could call me a bibliophile and a balletomane.

Playing with words is my passion. I am a children’s author and poet, book reviewer, podcaster and freelance editor/proofreader.

I was born in England, I speak Dutch, I’m learning French and I live in Naarm (Melbourne), Australia.

My favourite dance style is ballet. My favourite ballet is Don Quixote. My favourite snack is chocolate. My favourite hot drink is English Breakfast tea. And I don’t have a favourite book, there are just too many beautiful books to choose from.
