Tracey Corderoy

I grew up in South Wales before moving to Bath where I qualified as a teacher in 1987.

After several years of teaching, I left the profession to bring up my own family, and try to learn to cook.

Recently, I have supported children in Primary schools where I have implemented specialist Literacy programs and re-integrated children returning to school following periods of long term illness. It was during this time that I became keen to write for children; convinced that language, expressed through good literature is the key that stimulates learning and imagination.

I now live in a hidden valley surrounded by sheep, wild deer and cows with fluffy ears! Along with my husband and two daughters, I share my cottage with a huge puppy called Dylan (from Pontypool), several cats, guinea pigs and a giant rabbit.

I enjoy photography and walking in the Cotswold Hills with Dylan.

(I’m still trying to learn to cook but haven’t blown anything up for a while)!
