Struggling with dyslexia as a child, Red loved to weave stories in her head rather than putting pen to paper. Red started writing more once her little boy came along. Her stories are filled with hugs and humor for children and adults alike, and are ideal for bedtime reading - the perfect made-by-mum books! Things that make Red happy are big bowls of spaghetti, cats and Halloween.
