I make sure I write every day which I think really helps. Going for a walk gives me a fresh perspective as does a lovely cup of tea.

I love the whole writing process from deciding on a storyline to research to first draft and through to the final edit. But hearing readers say they have enjoyed reading my novels is always fantastic.

Read as much as you can and write every day. Always believe in the integrity of your writing and never give up on your ambition to be published.

I'm currently writing my fourth novel which is about a woman who was a WREN postal censor during World War 2. The research has been very interesting and I'm enjoying the writing very much.

Ordinary people and how they deal with extraordinary events fascinate me. There are countless stories of bravery, courage and resilience waiting to be told.

I visited the London Metropolitan Archives and was awestruck by the map that shows every single bomb that hit London during World War 2. I thought about the members of the Civil Defence who had to stand by ready to stick pins in the maps to show where the bombs and incendiaries hit and how they would feel if they knew the houses that had been devastated. I imagined how something as heart wrenching as that would affect someone for the rest of their life.
