I was born in London and divide my time between the city and the North Cornish coast. I love the cultural diversity of London. Like most writers, I draw on my own experiences. Apart from anything else, it’s difficult to prevent aspects of your own life creeping into your writing. The things that made it into ‘Ed & Lily’ are memories of my Saturday job in Portobello Road when I was a teenager and the people I knew there, as well as my work as a lawyer, representing refugees, detainees and victims of modern slavery. As a result, I relate to Lily’s need to make a difference and am happy to be outed as a wannabe do-gooder. I meet a lot of people from very varied backgrounds and hear their, often heart-breaking, stories. Like Lily, I know that the right input at the right time can change people’s lives.

The same themes found their way into 'Finding Jack,' where Gennie and Jack have already experienced all the bad and, with luck, things for them will only get better!

I like to write about second chances and new beginnings as the people who didn't get it all their own way the first time often have the best stories.

On these pages you'll find my contemporary fiction - full length novels with purchase links and short fiction, which you can read for free. I'm also working on some historical pieces. More on this very soon!

I hope you enjoy my writing. I’d love to hear your views. Drop me an email if you'd like to join my mailing list.
