Who am I?

I’m Polly. I’m an author, and this is my website where I offer real alternatives to regal parenting and lighten the mood with fictional, humorous stories.

I live in Hampshire with my husband, dog and two children; my daughter is nine and my son is seven. I like to research sharks with my daughter, steal my children’s chocolate and escape my family on the pretext of a run, only to skulk in a car park listening to true crime.

What’s The Royal Mouser?

The Royal Mouser is my third book. It’s a humorous satire, and, if you want some light escapism, you MUST read it!

About Right Royal Mother

I compare ‘everyday’ family life to royalty and offer products and services to help all of us parent like the royals.

I started writing Right Royal Mother as escapism. I found it amusing to compare life with my own tiny children to the then Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s reported parenting. I blame being very tired on the fact that I thought it would be a good idea to write humorous stories about what might be going on behind the walls of Kensington Palace, juxtaposed with my own family life.

RRM has opened up some brilliant opportunities. I have written for the BBC, the Mail, secured a dream literary agent, been a finalist in national parenting awards and met lots of cool people.

Occasionally, I will recommend products, trips or tips but only if I have first-hand experience – and no-one has died or left home as a result – or if I really like the look of them. I love writing, and hope to get a decent innings before AI makes us all obsolete.

Thanks for being here.

Polly
