MUCH ADO ABOUT ME!


Thanks for popping in. I started to write a lifetime ago. It started with a couple of successes with magazine articles and developed from there to short stories and eventually full-blown novels.


I write emotional, gritty, heart hugging reads which tend to be love stories rather than romantic fiction. For me my characters become living, breathing people who talk to me, often at night when I wish they wouldn’t because I have to get up and make notes about what they are saying.


We authors are a funny lot. We store experiences for half a lifetime and then somewhere out of the depths of our consciousness we give them birth, without even realising they've been buried all along.

A journey on a luxurious cruise liner is going to be one of the most challenging of her life. Whether it has a happy ending or not depends on how brave Kit can be and whether she can shake off the shackles of her past.


For Kit, there is everything to play for, but time is running out…
