About me
Member of the Society of Authors & NAWE
I was born in Nottingham in the early sixties. As I got older, I moved further out into the countryside. Now, I live in the beautiful Vale of Belvoir but work all around the East Midlands.

I am a member of Cornerstone church, attending with my family.
Working in schools for many years has given me an insight into children's lives and issues. I endeavour to write authentically, using realistic language. Even as a child I'd enjoy telling stories!
My YA novel called 'Get Over It' is for sale at Onwards and Upwards Publishers and Amazon, as well. .
I was on the radio!
In October 2010, I was recorded on the local community radio. This gives details of how I became a writer and there are readings from the Young Adult novel, 'Get Over It.' This was a great experience with the Reading Room presenter Paul Tyler, from Lincoln studios based at the University campus. To hear the podcast then, go to shows and Paul Tyler in the reading room.
