Bio

Avatar.png

I was born and bred in Coventry, but over the years have lived in Kelmscott in Western Australia, Aberystwyth, Liverpool, Shropshire, Herefordshire and now the picturesque Stroud Valleys in Gloucestershire. I read voraciously and widely, but my particular passion is crime thrillers and police procedurals.

I am querying my first police procedural, Dead Wood, Featuring  Detective Sergeants Fiona Crowe and Cassie Dunbar, Dead Wood is set in the mythical landscapes of the Shropshire/Welsh Marches and Shrewsbury.
