Biography

Ever since I can remember my head hs been filled with intriguing characters living in weird places of my own invention. At school I used to be told off for day dreaming, but also praised for writing such imaginative stories. It was quite confusing!

International editions of The Time Wreccas and The Time Apprentice, by Val TylerI grew up, but have never stopped dreaming, and am still writing stories. I just can't help myself.

One day Puffin pinned me down and told me they wanted to publish two of my children’s stories, which were  award-nominated and translated into nine languages.





I also love telling stories and running workshops.
