I began writing The Four Loves of Professor Waldman after a health scare that forced me to reassess what really matters. It was, in many ways, a wake-up call — the kind that makes you stop, take stock, and ask difficult questions about how you’re living your life.
I live on the south coast of England with my husband and work in Adult Social Care for my local authority. Every day, I hear the stories of people adapting to life-changing circumstances — finding ways to carry on after loss, illness, or unexpected change. Those experiences have deeply shaped my writing, which is grounded in the quiet resilience of ordinary lives.
My debut novel follows a Professor of Anatomy whose carefully ordered world is shattered when he becomes the victim of a violent assault, forcing him to confront his own vulnerability, his past, and the possibility of forgiveness. At its heart, it is a story about grief, second chances, and the courage it takes to risk love again — knowing exactly what it might cost .
I have long been fascinated by the study of anatomy. After attending the exhibition Anatomy: A Matter of Life and Death at the National Museum of Scotland, I learned how I could donate my own body for medical education, and I have since registered my intention through the London Anatomy Office.
Anatomy departments are not permitted by law to advertise their continued need for donors, so one of my hopes for this novel is that it might prompt thoughtful discussion — not just about the story itself, but about what we leave behind, and how we might continue to make a difference even after we’re gone.
My work will appeal to readers who enjoy emotionally rich, character-driven fiction — stories that explore love, loss, and what it means to begin again.
