Welcome to my web site. I hope you enjoy learning a little about me and seeing the covers of some of the books I have written.

There is also a story for you to read at the link ‘A Story’ and if you like you can email me with your comments.

As well as writing, I love making school and library visits. You can read about how to book me by going to the ‘Booking Corinne’ link.

I also give presentations to adults, especially about how I came to write both ‘Queenie: One Elephant’s Story’ and ‘The Dog on the Tuckerbox’ and the stories behind the books.

Hoping to meet you somewhere soon
