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.

I was born in Devon, England, and just nine days later, I was whisked away to a new life in Bristol. Nearly fifty years passed before I finally reunited with my biological family - a moment so powerful, it shaped the heart of my SIBLINGS trilogy.
This is the story I’ve always wanted to tell. It’s raw, deeply personal, and filled with the emotional weight of being separated from one’s roots. But I’ve transformed it into fiction, weaving truth into every page.
Book One: SIBLINGS – Kit’s Story is out now.
Book Two: SIBLINGS – Emma’s Story arrives this spring.
Book Three: SIBLINGS – Holly’s Story is in the works—she’ll join her sisters next year.
A journey of love, loss, and belonging—will you take it with me?
