Thank you for visiting my website.

I’ve always been a big reader, but I didn’t publish my first book until I was fifty. Since then, I’ve barely stopped writing. Creating emotional, thought-provoking stories and memorable characters has become my passion, and I’m never happier than when I’m up to my neck in a first draft.

If you’re interested in my writing process or how I develop my novels, head over to the For Writers area where I share more behind the scenes details.

I live on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales so I do a lot of walking in the beautiful countryside nearby. I also love to travel – especially if my trip sparks an idea for a new story or setting.

To hear more, subscribe to In the Margins, a monthly letter where I share early news, stories about my inspiration and some of the ideas that don’t make it onto the page.
