Annaliese Matheron - Mash Stories.jpg

Unlike many authors Annaliese Matheron never knew what she wanted to be. She wanted to do a million and one different things – be an ice-skater, or an archaeologist, or an astrophysicist, or a theatre director – luckily she realised that by being an author she could be all these things and more. Annaliese now spends her time making stuff up and writing it down. Her humorous adventure story Ninja Nan and Sidekick Grandad was a finalist in the 2013 People’s Book Prize.

She lives in Norfolk, writes in UK English and occasionally in US English or double Dutch. Website: http://jemimapett.com
