I live in the county of South Yorkshire, England; I am a retired community nurse for people with learning disabilities. Having been introduced to Jane Austen novels whilst studying at school for 0’ levels and A’ levels back in the 1970’s I developed a life-long passion for historical novels and dramas. Although busy with three little granddaughters I still find time to write. My first novel 'In Pursuit of Miriam' was published in 2014 and my second novel 'The Earl of Ice', in 2016
