Hello, and thanks for visiting my Amazon author page. I'm the author of two novels - THE LIAR'S CHAIR (2015) which was chosen for the Loose Women book club, and THE HIDDEN GIRLS (2020) published by Mantle / Pan Macmillan. Both books deal with what I call 'the devil in the domestic' although my starting point is always a deep fascination with what makes ordinary people step outside the norm, especially into the morally questionable. More recently I've been exploring the personal in short memoir pieces over on Substack. My writing career didn’t begin until my forties, but looking back, I’ve always told stories in one form or another, I simply never imagined a career as a writer. During a degree in Creative Arts, I used narratives in my performance work, film and photography. On moving to London, I worked briefly in the music industry then moved into film and TV production on music videos, commercials and documentaries, starting as tea-girl and ending up an executive producer. It wasn’t until after kids however, that I went back to study creative writing to see if I had a book in me, and realised I had many more stories to tell.  I also teach and mentor creative writers through Booksmiths and have held characterisation workshops for Guardian Masterclasses and the Creative Writing Programme amongst others. My short stories have been published in S-Magazine and shortlisted for the Bridport and Fish competitions, and my features have appeared in The Independent, Psychologies, Buzzfeed and more. I've spoken at events nationwide including Bloody Scotland, CrimeFest and the Isle of Wight Literary Festival. And very occasionally, I DJ at music festivals.
