I guess I would describe myself as a southerner even though I have lived in the north of England for some years now, I work hard to keep my accent intact. After having several careers in the arts, conservation and education where writing or using my imagination has always been in the background I finally took the plunge with my first book in 2014 (Unlikely Places). I try and write at least a few days a week while holding down my current job. In 2017 I was awarded a Gold Medal for the Fiction - Gay/Lesbian/LGBT category in the Global Ebook Awards for my double novel Out of The Blue - Latent memories. My first book to be published with Ylva in 2019 was Payback, it was made a finalist in the 2019 Lesfic Bard Awards. I am currently working on two projects - editing the sequel to Payback, Fair Game to be published by Ylva later this year and writing my next thriller set in the south of the England.
