Welcome to my page!

I am, and always have been, a bookworm and love to lose myself in the stories woven by an author’s imagination. My favourite genres are history (fact and fiction), thrillers, romance, mythology, humour or a mash up of any of those. But I love discovering a new author, and if the writing draws me in, the genre is irrelevant.

One of my favorite sentences is “I think you might like this book...’

If I’m not curled up with a novel, I’m writing. Whether it’s flash fiction, short stories or drafting the next novel.

And if inspiration fails to strike, it’s time for a walk with my dogs or a crossword and cup of tea.

Happy reading!
