edit data

Under the assumed name in which I do all my living, being a mum, cat-owner etc, I live in Berkshire, close to the river Thames.

I have three children who I scold for using devices too much, usually while I am peering at a small laptop screen.

I also have a cat who likes to follow me (and other people), not online, obv, but literally. He is becoming quite well-known in the local shops.

My favourite authors when I was at college where F Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, TS Eliot and so forth. (You can tell I did a big section on the Modernists.) Nowadays you are much more likely to find me guiltily indulging in an old paperback Mary Stewart, Patricia Wentworth or Agatha Christie I have already read fifty million times.

Better by the second - a celebration of books which against all the odds have just one sequel

Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator (Charlie Bucket, #2) by Roald Dahl

The Phoenix and the Carpet (The Psammead Trilogy, #2) by E. Nesbit

This weekend, I'm publishing Death Comes In With The Tide. This is my sequel to Death Sees Most Of the Game and the first sequel I’ve ever written. It's so new that the GoodReads link doesn't work yet, so bear with this clunky link for now:

To celebrate, I decided to blog about sequels. In the cinema world, the list of great sequels is well-esta Read more of this blog post »

Why is this book not better known? A high-octane post-WW2 thriller, it’s like a feminine version of James Bond. In fact, its heroine, Kay, would probably get on splendidly with Vivienne in Fleming’s The Spy Who Loved Me. They’re both beautiful, spiri ...more

I adore Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell so I was delighted to find this set of short stories set mostly in the same world of a Victorian England illuminated by magic. They’re mostly very entertaining, full of the same delightful writing style, like Dic ...more

I spoiled the plot of this for myself by seeing the film first but it was still good even without the suspense element. I like two things about Andy Weir’s books so far – firstly, the science. There’s lots of it, but it’s explained simply enough to b ...more
