Once Upon A Time...

There once was a young woman stuck in bed with severe ME/CFS, so poorly she couldn't read or write.

But she could dream.

She imagined fantastic places, exciting adventures and romances that swept her away.

I'm that woman.

I was bed bound for six years and my only escape was through my imagination.

I now write about women who want to break free from the constraints of their lives, a subject I'm deeply familiar with

These are a few of my favourite things...

I love books, baking and the WI.

I'm the founding president of a modern WI (Women’s Institute) and run a baking club for other cake lovers.

Where do I write?

You’ll find me in my writing room, nicknamed Narnia because it’s also home to a wardrobe and is the place where I escape to other worlds.

I'm happiest if I've got a slice of chocolate cake, a cup of tea and a good book.

I am represented by Amanda Preston from LBA Books.
