I was born and brought up in the wonderful walled city of Chester and lived there until I was eighteen when despite my desire to become a journalist I found myself leaving home to start nursing training. I ended up as an operating theatre sister in a large London hospital and there I met my husband - over the operating table. Ten years and four children later we got the travel bug and dragged the kids across the Atlantic, settling for a while in Canada and later the USA until the siren call from home became too insistent and we moved back to the UK. However the desire for pastures new still itched and for several years we lived in West Wales then northern Scotland and finally southern Ireland until we settled again near Chester. I had long given up nursing and gone into business, first a children's clothes shop, then a wonderful book shop and finally an internet clothes enterprise. Of course this shows that I'm forever searching for new experiences and explains perhaps why my novels are diverse in theme and location. Now we live in a small village in north Shropshire close to the Montgomery canal and with a view of both the Welsh and the Shropshire hills. Reading and writing have been my hobbies since childhood. My reading choices have been eclectic; Daphne du Maurier, Phillip Chandler, Mollie Keane, Lee Child, the Trollopes (Anthony and Joanna), E M Forster,some of Dickens, most of the Brontes and all of Jane Austen. Recently, I've enjoyed The Misremembered Man by Christina McKenna and Edward Marston's Railway Detective series. Three of my Kindle novels have already appeared in print, Love of a Lifetime (Richard Wilde), When I was Young (The Imperfect Tense) and Mist. A new commissioned work, What Tomorrow Brings, was published 2014 and another, The Very Thought of You, is to be published 16/7/15. Writing has become very important to me and now I always have at least two novels on the go. It depends on how I feel when I get up as to which story I'll turn to. I'm currently writing a seafaring novel based on my own family history. This had to be set aside while I was completing the commissioned work but I'm back at it. At the same time I'm making notes for a detective story set in the fifties in Shropshire.
