Visiting Haworth and the home of the Bronte family their writing and lives always draws me on and fascinates me.

How do you decide what tone to use with a particular piece of writing?
I let the story and audience guide the tone when writing Haworth's Enchanted Chronicles. I balance a sense of wonder and adventure with moments of humour and suspense ensuring it remains engaging for middle grade readers.
Tone is all about emotion i focus on how i want the reader to feel, once i understand that the voice and style naturally follow
If you could share one thing with your fans, what would that be?
I'd love to share how much their imagination matters, whether you're a reader, a writer or someone who loves a good story, your creativity has power, just like the Bronte sisters had when they were younger.
