My favourite read is an intriguing family story with great characters and a touch of romance and that’s what I write. Some of my novels are set in the past and some are contemporary.

My latest novel, out Spring 2024, is THE GIVEAWAY GIRL A family saga set in the 1960s 

ROSE’S EVER AFTER, is a saga set in the colliery village of Linwood.

When I’m not writing about families and their relationships, I read a wide range of fiction. I review for net galley and add the ones I’ve enjoyed most on this website.

I live in the North East, on a beautiful stretch of Northumbrian coastline not far from the city of Newcastle, with my husband  and a Welsh terror of a terrier. The setting is used in my stories and a feisty little terrier has a cameo role in my second novel . My husband does not feature in my writing at all!

Nowadays, I’m lucky enough to spend part of each day writing and, at the moment, that is with the fascinating characters of my latest novel
