Almost by chance I have a children's book out - Ebony the Cat - A Quest for Survival, suitable for all ages and especially cat lovers. Ebony tells her own story of being abandoned as a kitten, the rescue trap, and finding a new family.

Finding Jo, a women's contemporary novel, set in the Himalayas. Everyone can imagine wanting to get away from difficult situations so Jo went to a retreat in India to find peace of mind.
Brown Eyes, my second novel is about a marriage crisis and in part the observations and sorrow of the family Labrador.

As a health journalist I have written over 100 articles for national newspapers and consumer magazines in the UK and South Africa too. Non-fiction includes One Step Ahead of Osteoarthritis (2019).
