I write books for children – picture books, early readers and novels. One of my most popular picture books, Eliot Jones Midnight Superhero has been re-issued with a new cover and a shorter title – Eliot, Midnight Superhero.
I also work as a film-maker and camerawoman. I was away from my writing desk making a film about young farmers who live and work in the countryside in Herefordshire, where I live. I spent a lot of time with animals, which was a wonderful way to spend a day. I look back with fondness on those afternoons in the intimate company of cows. (The people in the film were really great too!) If you want to know more about the film you can check out the website for the film which is called Tune for the Blood. 
In the meantime here are a few pictures from the film.
Now I am back at my writing desk! So hopefully there will be a book out soon. Time to put the coffee on…
Have a look at my most recent blog post with some stunning artwork from Year 1s at Coteford Infant School – inspired by Eliot, Midnight Superhero.

Hi Anne my name is Emily and I’m 7. I’v just read your story HOT DOG and I really like it and also I liked the illuatrations too. I want to tell you and mum found this so I could tell you.
Thank you Emily! I’m so sorry it has taken me so long to reply but I’ve been away doing lots of stuff and not been visiting my site. I’m really chuffed that you like HOT DOG. I love the way the designer has made the words follow the route HOT DOG takes when he is being chased. All the best, Anne
