Lou Kuenzler grew up on a remote sheep farm in Devon. There weren’t many other children nearby, so Lou spent most of her time playing imaginary games and reading books - great training for being a writer. Lou writes funny books for young readers - talking to herself as she works ... and eating quite a lot of biscuits too.
With many years experience as a drama teacher in universities, colleges, schools and community projects, Lou now teaches creative writing to adults and children. She loves coming on school visits and has a lively interactive approach to her reading and/or writing events.
The JACK SPLAT! books are a hilarious action series, told from the fly-on-the-wall perspective of our death-defying hero Jack Splat as he goes about his daily business - landing on tasty bits of food and spreading germs. But there is danger everywhere for a small fly, and Jack must dodge dastardly attempts to bring his life to a swift end! In Jack Splat: Superfly Pest!, Jack can’t wait to guzzle up some delicious chocolate birthday cake - but he needs to watch out for the scheming spider that lurks in the living room... In  the Book 2, Jack Splat: Dog’s Dinner, Jack is thrilled when he and his little cousin Flo come across the world's biggest, smelliest dog poo! Can Jack track down the dog, whilst keeping Flo away from the Jaws of Death? Visit www.loukuenzler.com for more information
