edit data

I am an author of fantasy fiction who lives in London, UK and have been writing and creating stories for over thirty years. It was a love of reading fantasy fiction that sparked a desire to write and to share the joy that I have found in authors like Sharon Shinn, Robin McKinley, Tamora Pierce, Megan Whelan Turner and Martha Wells.

Themes of love, loss and coming-of-age reverberate through my books and stories. I hope you enjoy them.
