About

Hello! I’m Jodie and I’m an editor and writer of children’s fiction and nonfiction. I’m American and British and I live in Hertfordshire, in England.

I’ve published 12 books for kids, I have 8 more coming out in 2022 and 2023, and I have lots, lots more hidden in a closet that may (or may not) contain my secret stash of chocolate (it does) that I am hiding from my children. I can’t wait to share them with you (the books, not the chocolate. I never share chocolate.)

Here’s my official bio:
