I've been writing stories for as long as I can remember, but had only ever written non-fiction for publication until a brush with cancer gave me the impetus to focus on a long held dream of seeing a novel in print.

My first novella, 'The Gift of Christmas Yet to Come', published by Fabrian Books, was released in November 2014 and is the first in the St Nicholas Bay series. My debut full-length novel, 'Among A Thousand Stars' will be released on 17 June in 2015, published by So Vain Books in e-book and paperback, making some of those daydreams I had a reality!  The day after, will see the release of my People's Friend, pocket novel, 'No Time for Second Best', which will appear on the shelves of WHSmiths - making another long held dream come true.

I'm also a founder member of the Write Romantics and regularly blog with the other nine members about love, life and writing. The Write Romantics released their debut anthology, 'Winter Tales' in November 2014, in aid of The Teenage Cancer and Cystic Fibrosis trusts.
