THE SECRET COLLECTOR is a treasure of a story about friendship & coping with loss, told with humour and heart. The writing is incredibly skilful. I loved Alfred and Kian, & was moved by the growing bond between them. A must-read for 2025. Thank you Abigail Johnson | Author & Pan Macmillan

My author headshot for THE MIDNIGHT CAROUSEL, out April 2025. Being photographed is one of my least favourite activities, so a huge thank you to my very patient son, Lucas, for making the process enjoyable (for me, anyway!)
