Hello! I'm an author and retired English teacher and I live in Warwickshire. I have three grown-up children and two grandchildren. My funny teacher-memoir 'Miss, What Does Incomprehensible Mean?', was published by SPCK in 2020 and my novel, called 'Cuckoo in the Nest' came out with Legend Press in April 2023.

Those of you kind enough to care may have noticed that my last post on this blog was August 2022. I was busy editing my new novel 'Cuckoo in the Nest' and things drifted in terms of regular blogging. Before I knew it, I had cancelled myself.

I enjoyed going on this adventure with the six women in Bay C, all of them entertainingly and sensitively drawn by the author. It’s a diverse bunch of ladies. All they have in common at first is their presence in the hospital for treatment. Despite t ...more

There's so much to admire in Ruth Leigh's 'Isabella' series and the way it takes us through this Mumfluencer's journey of self-discovery (and God-discovery). I agree with Lucy Marfleet whose endorsement graces the front cover of this fourth book: 'Wi ...more
