About

I was born in Taunton, Somerset, and after spending my early years in Minehead, I moved to Wimbledon. I still consider myself a London girl at heart, despite living in Leamington Spa for the past 35 years.

​

I've always been an avid reader, devouring anything from cereal packets to novels late into the night. 

​

With my husband Mike's encouragement, I wrote my first novel, "No Going Back," inspired by my mother's wartime experiences. Once I committed, the writing flowed, and I soon had 88,000 words, although I had to teach myself about creative writing through online resources and guides. After a rigorous self-edit, I chose to self-publish with Troubador Publishing, and I’m proud to have sold nearly 500 copies on my own.

 

Following No Going Back's success, I wrote and self-published the sequel, "After," which delves into the challenges faced by those who survived the war. Both books hold a special place in my heart, and I’m thrilled to share these stories with readers.
