edit data

I write novels. I'm a member of the Hertford Writers’ Circle and won the Sci-Fi London Film Festival’s 2014 48 hour Flash Fiction challenge.

When not penning stories I'm an avid reader, a decent epeé fencer, and live with my husband and cat Arya, named after the Game of Thrones character.

I also run a chatty book club in London and sometimes sing in metal bands in London.

Want fun updates from me on writing, fav tweets, lotsa books and mini mysteries?
