I was born and brought up in Chorlton-cum-Hardy in Manchester. We lived close to wonderful rugged countryside and regularly went on long family hikes exploring forests and moors. Kitted out with my own little rucksack and walking boots, I would go on ahead with my Kendal Mint-Cake for sustenance, and seek out secret little places. The feeling of magic and mystery that surrounded areas like Alderley Edge and Stile Woods are still with me.

I was an only child for the first ten years of my life and found comfort and company in books. I loved fantasy and adventure best, but would devour anything that had a good story and engaging characters. Imagination was, and always has been an integral part of my sense of self.

I studied English and Media at the University of Sussex and have lived in Brighton for over 30 years. I've had a varied career encompassing acting, campaigning, TV journalism, work in local government, and now, leading the UNISON branch at Brighton & Hove City Council. I write across literary genres, including novels, short stories and increasing recently, poetry .

In the last couple of years I have been commissioned by The Royal Literary Society with a piece called Secrets, Relics and Lost Lives, featured on Radio 4’s hugely popular Saturday Live talking about a family history project called The Findings, and had a poem adapted into a song by renowned musician, Ted Barnes.

Most recently I brought my campaigning and writing together with a short film of a poem about the importance of local government, which has now had thousands of views. I play an active part in the Brighton & Hove cultural scene, regularly reading live, performing in festivals, and collaborating with artists, historians and schools through my writing.

I call myself a ‘Mancunian Brightonian’ having made my home in the city-by-the-sea 25 years ago. I live with my husband in a loving if sometimes hectic, patchwork family including two kids each, a dog, two cats and a semi-domesticated Seagull called Gerald!
