She started writing the first book of the Hex trilogy, set in a totalitarian futuristic Europe, when she was seventeen, and sent the first chapters to Douglas Hill (a friend of the family) and Pat White (her mother's agent).

Macmillan accepted the first two Hex books shortly after her nineteenth birthday.
