About Me

Photo of a closed book

I currently reside in South Yorkshire with my partner, Stephen, and Border collie, Rosie.

Born in Liverpool at a time when the Beatles were becoming famous, my childhood was spent watching too much TV, riding my bicycle around Aintree Racecourse, and reading novels. Since graduating from college I have worked for the National Health Service and managed a company involved in the offshore oil industry. 

I like to keep busy, and when I'm not working on a manuscript, I can be found curled up with a book, gardening, designing knitwear, travelling the world or walking Rosie.  

I am the author of a number of short stories and two novels, The House on the Shore, set in the Highlands of Scotland, and Three Weeks Last Spring, set in the Pacific Northwest.  The House on the Shore was a contender for the 2009 Joan Hessayon Award presented by the Romantic Novelist's Association.  Three Weeks Last Spring is a 2010 Pushcart Prize Nominee.
