edit data

I have been passionate about reading and writing since early childhood. Prize-winning stories in primary school led to hours writing fanfic (long before the phrase was invented) as a teenager, and I wrote my first novel in my twenties. Life got in the way of my dream of becoming a best-selling author, but writing and reading have remained life-long pleasure pastimes.

"New Beginnings" is now available in paperback from my publishers Cranthorpe Millner and from Amazon.
If you've read my book, I'd love to know what you think (good, bad, or indifferent) so please share your thoughts in a review here.

Flattery will get you everywhere

During the last three weeks, I have received nine emails offering to promote “New Beginnings” to reach a wider audience. All nine individuals claim to be professional representatives of their book-related organisation, yet all nine are using unimaginative gmail account names that don’t even attempt to look like they’re official. Bizarrely, one email was about “New Beginnings: Starting Over” wh

Johanna’s Quotes

“The lives and deaths of characters in stories and poems, however tragic, help us to learn about the world and - if we are brave enough - to change it.”
― Nicola Morgan

“There's one tiny little gap in the universe left, just about to close. And it takes a lot of power to send this projection. I'm in orbit around a supernova. I'm burning up a sun just to say goodbye.”
― Russell T. Davies, Doctor Who: The Shooting Scripts

“Doctor Who: You want weapons? We're in a library. Books are the best weapon in the world. This room's the greatest arsenal we could have. Arm yourself!
