Hello and welcome to my Amazon page! My most recent book is THE SUNRISE SISTERHOOD and there will be new books coming in Autumn 2024 and Summer 2025.
I've been a lover of stories since I was tiny and used to beg my mum to take me to the library because I’d finished all my books and was desperate for new ones. Many of my passions have come and gone (my obsession with home décor shows in the 90s led to a lot of dodgy DIY choices and my attempt at making wine did not end well!) but my love for story and drama and romance will last a lifetime.
My favourite thing to do is to get myself comfy with a book in my lap and my dog, Pearl beside me and lose myself in a story. I love the feel of a paperback, but am equally happy reading on my Kindle or iPad. I now listen to a lot of audiobooks too, especially when I’m driving. I read a wide variety of novels, but there is a special place on my bookshelf for Marian Keyes, Maeve Binchy, Beth O’Leary and Emily Henry. I didn’t start writing until 2013, before that I ran a PR and Marketing agency for many years and loved hearing my clients’ stories of how they started their businesses. Those stories must have stayed in my subconscious because I find I often write about the sort of places I used to work for. THE SUNRISE SISTERHOOD is my sixteenth novel and I’ve already written drafts of the next two I hope that my books give readers a place to escape to, somewhere comforting, a space to explore their feelings and find joy. My stories are about people I’d want to be friends with, characters my readers will root for. They are often about ordinary women doing extraordinary things.
I grew up in Birmingham but moved to Nottingham for university and have been here ever since. I live in a small village just outside the city, our house overlooks fields of barley in one direction and horses in the other, and our garden is full of fruit trees: damson; plum; pear and of course, Bramley apples!
