Marie Basting

When Marie Basting was fifteen, she was told by a careers advisor that girls like her don?t become writers. For a long time, she believed this. But then something magical happened and Marie finally came to realise that girls like her can do anything they want. Marie lives in Manchester with her husband, son and a giant, hairy woo-dog called Polly. When she?s not writing or annoying her family, you?ll find her supporting other girls and boys to follow their writing dreams. Princess BMX is her debut novel.
