Maddy Rose was born and raised in Cambridge, and has lots of fond memories of holidays on the north Devon coast with its long sandy beaches and stories of smugglers coves and pirates hide-outs. Maddy studied graphic illustration for two years before a move to Southampton to get a degree in podiatry.
When Maddy gave up work to have her first child she reverted back to her illustration days and started scribbling the stories for Pinkie. Now a full time mum and juggling a career as a children’s author Maddy is a happily married mother of two, living on the coastline that she fell in love with as a child.
