Occupation Author and book cover designer
Location Bushey, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom
Introduction I LOVE books. Always have. I love new books, old musty books, favourite dog-eared books, and I also love browsing in bookshops. I've always been interested in book covers too, which is how I found myself working in publishing for more than twenty years as a cover designer. But one thing I've always wanted . . . was to have something I'd written myself published in book form. Writing is a passion of mine and always has been and although I've had several short stories published, the 'Holy Grail' of a published novel has eluded me - until now. Fledgling is my first novel, I'm hugely proud of it and I'm beyond excited at the prospect of having it published:) I live in a small town near North London with my husband, son and our black cat. We live in a four-hundred-year-old cottage, which has exposed oak beams and rickety old oak stairs, which really do need a bit of renovation! (One day.)
Interests jazz dance, zumba, reading, writing, travelling over to the deserts of the US and hiking canyons in Utah, exploring ancient Anasazi ruins, cinema and antiques.
Favorite Movies Old Hammer Dracula films, Wayne's World, Blues Brothers, From Dusk Till Dawn, Harry Potter, Cohen Brothers, Coraline, Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
