Samantha’s favourite thing about writing and editing children’s books is marvelling at how much can be said in so few words. She lives in London in a tall house with lots of stairs and has some of her best ideas while she’s on her way to the kitchen to make strong cups of tea. Her other great passion is football and she is a dedicated supporter of a team who don’t win very often.
