Hi, I live on the beautiful Essex/Suffolk border of England. I love to walk, read, hang around with family and friends, preferably around a campfire, just musing.

The countryside and the backwaters where I live and where my novel is set, are my greatest inspiration. Writing came late to me. I failed at school and so many othe things before I discovered I was dyslexic. But now, writing is now a passion. I am glad to have found it.

It's all happening. The script is completed. The barn at Beaumont is booked, with thanks to Jules Woods who generously offered the venue to us. It will take place on the 14th&15th September, which is perfect because the play itself opens at Mabon; the September celebration which took place in the farming communities in Kitty's time.

We are so looking forward to welc
