Stef is a Freelance Illustrator and Storyteller living in Norwich. She was born as part of a BOGOF deal with her twin brother to join her 5 other siblings. Since then she has starred in such plays as ‘A Murphy Christmas Production’ and the Living Room sell out show ‘The Match Match Twins’.

Despite indisputable success in the acting world, Stef decided that her real love lay elsewhere — on the carpet, drawing animals and making up stories about cement fairies and misunderstood minotaurs.

On one occasion her sister told her a story that made her laugh so hard she wet herself. Although she would dread to think that this information would be declared freely on the internet, she insists that this is the precedent she must live up to and that her book will, one day, make you too wet yourself.
