About the Author

Louise Tucker

Louise is an IT Research Manager, but her heart lies in all things creative. In 2003, whilst on maternity leave, Louise was inspired by all the children’s books she was reading and acquiring for her young son. She began pursuing opportunities to write books herself and so began her life as a children’s book author.

In 2016, after years of hard graft, Louise achieved academic success with a BA degree in Creative Writing (cum laude) from the University of South Africa (Unisa).

Louise has a deep love for her family and her favourite thing to do is spend time with them. “Family” includes a spoiled white Maltese cross rescue dog called Hamilton, or Hammy for short. She loves being in and around nature and enjoys gardening; particularly acquiring new plants. In addition, Louise loves art and culture, reading novels (especially classics), and whenever she gets the chance, painting in watercolour.
