I am a British writer born in London and describe myself as almost a Cockney, my birthplace being just out of earshot of the Bow Bells. After studying art at Central St Martins, I went on to qualify as a chartered librarian.

My interest in writing began when, as a member of an amateur dramatic group unable to find suitable material to perform, I decided to create something myself. I ended up writing and directing three murder mystery plays. For a number of years, I concentrated on short stories in a variety of genres and, in 2010, my short story Happy Deathday was Highly Commended in the Yeovil Literary Prize. I left my job as a School Library Advisor in early 2012 to concentrate on my writing career and by August 2013 had written my debut novel, a two-part dystopian romance/thriller, based on my winning  short story. Happy Deathday and its sequel Resurrection were published in November 2013. My third novel, a satirical romp entitled Outside the Box, was published in September 2016. Viral City (Happy Deathday: Part 3) was published in April 2019. It can be read as a standalone novel in its own right, or as a follow on from Happy Deathday and Resurrection.

I enjoy travelling with my husband and discovering new places. We have been to Alaska twice, using the local ferries to travel the Alaskan Marine Highway, did a five week road trip of New Zealand and a tour of Patagonia. Our most exciting and challenging trip to date, was driving the Dempster Highway (the Ice Road Truckers road) up to and beyond the Arctic Circle – in the summer. Doing it in the winter, would just be suicidal!
