Liz is a children's author with six novels published so far and a seventh due out in June this year. Her books have been translated into over twenty languages, have appeared on the New York Times best seller list and have this year topped two million sales worldwide.
Liz recently moved to St Ives, where she gets lots of inspiration for her books. As they feature funky fairies and accidental mermaids, her characters feel just at home here as she does.
She will read a few excerpts from her published books, give a sneak preview of her soon-to-be-published book and answer questions about writing, books, mermaids, fairies and anything else she happens to be asked.
