edit data

I am a book blogger and indie author. I enjoy reading other indie authors’ work and have learned a lot from this community.

I live in Kent with my long suffering husband.

My debut novel, Orchard View, is about a house where a murder took place some thirty years earlier, and I am currently working on two more stories, a Christmas romance and another dark tale of avarice with murder.

Having read a couple of Robin Bennett's children's stories, I was keen to read something slightly more grown up. When Dreadnaught was offered for a blog tour, I read the blurb and was intrigued.
