Coming from a family with strong roots in music, poetry, and the performing arts, I finally 'naturally' gravitated toward storytelling—finding my voice in the world of cozy mysteries.

Following a background of report writing, process development, and years of light-hearted commentary on a self-run Fantasy Football League, it was perhaps inevitable if a gradual progression to start writing.

I am currently working on a growing collection of standalone cozy mysteries, all set in the seemingly charming, fictional seaside town of Seacliff Harbour. Drawing inspiration from West Cumbria, the nearby Lake District and the coastal landscape - although there are generally less murders in reality!

Jack Nook answered Goodreads's question: Where did you get the idea for your most recent book? I'm guessing you mean Book 5 just released? I only ask as it hasn't appeared yet under this profile yet.
