I'm a Londoner, though now I live in Devon, a twenty-minute walk from the sea. I love nothing more than walking my lunatic Border Terrier on the beach in the rain (well, OK, I don't object to the sun, but when it's raining we usually have the whole beach to ourselves.) Back in the day, I had twenty-five romance novels published by Mills&Boon. Now, after a long gap, I am braving the independent route. I have several M&B-type novels in the pipeline, but also aim to try a few different things.
