Tell us about yourself as a person.
What makes you different from other people?
I can be quite eccentric. I spend a lot of time in my head thinking about my character’s lives more than my own.
What is your personality type?
I’m actually quite shy until I get to know you. I like being sociable but I also like time on my own. Perfect for writing!
What was your favorite childhood game?
Anything make believe – playing shops probably. I had a pretend post office and supermarket set when I was little and loved pretending to serve my family.
What is your favorite subject to talk about?
Books! I spend a lot of time talking about books because I’ve got so many on the go.
What is your favorite book?
If I had to pin it down to just one and that is so hard, I’d say Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. It’s a classic but still my favourite.
What is your favorite meal?
Spaghetti Bolognese or anything with pasta in!
Tell us about yourself as a writer.
What made you want to be a writer?
I’ve always loved telling stories, as a child I used to make little books about the places I’d visited. As I grew older, I put my imagination to one side, thinking I’d had to find a ‘real job.’ Life has a way of surprising you.
What are your favorite books for writing advice?
Save the Cat by Jessica Brody, Romancing the Beat by Gwen Hayes.
What are your favorite reference books?
I prefer to read 1st hand accounts. During the first lockdown here in the UK, I read a lot of biographies of nurses in the first world war.
When you go to a convention, what kinds of things do you take along?
Pens, notebooks, water, a lovely bright scarf to wear. I have lots of scarfs- too many but they always cheer me up when I wear one.
What’s your best advice for a new writer?
Just start writing and don’t go back and judge your work until you’ve finished a 1st draft.
What are your writing goals for the next year or so?
Start a new book. I’m leaving behind The Leaves of Change Cafe Series and starting a new romance book.

I live in the northeast of England with my family and our beloved cat Louie, a one-time stray now king of the castle. When I’m not at home trying to work with the cat on my knee, I love meeting friends for a coffee and having a good old natter, or visiting somewhere new, like an historic house or museum.
