Biography

 

Maggie has worked at different times as a librarian, barmaid, corn dolly maker and freelance journalist, but mainly as a mother. It's only since her three sons have grown up that she's been able to fulfil a lifelong ambition to become a published writer, beginning with a re-telling of the traditional story of the East Anglian hero, Tom Hickathrift.
 

Her first full-length children's novel, Owl-light, was short-listed for the W H Smith Mind-Boggling Books award. Her most recent, Shadow of the Beast, was long-listed for the Carnegie Medal.
She lives with her husband of more than forty years in a sixteenth-century cottage in the wilds of Suffolk.
