My name is Rebecca Lisle and I'm a writer. I have had 20 children's books published. I also like drawing and have illustrated some of my books. When I'm not writing I paint peculiar pictures of dogs.

I live in Bristol and enjoy giving workshops and author visits in the South West.

Crystal is due out at the beginning of August

This is the third book featuring characters from the two other Marble Mountains books, Copper and Amethyst.
