I'm Belinda O'Keefe (a.k.a. Bee) and I love writing for kids. I have two Russian Blue cats - Enzo, who thinks he's a dog, and Portia, who's addicted to nerf bullets and guitar picks. Yes, she actually tries to eat them! I love gardening, and my vegetable garden inspired my first picture book, The Day the Plants Fought Back, published in June 2019. I write junior fiction novels too, about slime, stink bombs, and crazy cats. Watch this space!
