About Me

I've been writing full time for over a decade and have written kids books, (as Cas Lester) and women's fiction (as Cass Lester). 

I spent my first career making award-winning children's TV dramas for CBBC including: The Story of Tracy Beaker, Jackanory, Kerching!  

When I left television I launched my second career as an author.  I've had nine commercial children's books published (by OUP and Bonnier) and two women's novels published (by Canelo).  My children's books have been translated into five languages. 

I'm now changing genre and moving into writing Folk Horror. Follow me into the dark!
