Adventure has always shaped my life – from childhood games and theatre trips with family to sharing stories and playing sports with friends. That spirit led me to teach in Japan and schools across Essex and London. Now, as a mum to two imaginative boys – one who loves facts, the other fiction – I was inspired to create FictFact. Their excitement for heroes, villains and everything in between constantly entertains me. No matter how tired we are, we always end our day diving into the magical world of books. I hope FictFact brings your family as much joy as it brings mine!

Storytime with my two (now teenage!) children remains a treasured memory. When they toddle up to you, book in hand, ready to be transported, it is a delicious moment of love and connection. I have been teaching now for over twenty years and reading aloud to children is still one of my greatest joys. More recently, I had the pleasure of being a school Visiting Librarian, reading with every class up to Year 6. No child is too old to be captivated by a story and the pin-drop moment when they are hooked is magical. I am so excited to bring that same joy to our FictFact stories.
