I'm retired from my previous job as a professional photographer, and before that a music educationalist... now enjoying writing and mentoring others to write.

I live with my husband in the south west of England. While he works, I spend my days writing, drinking coffee, catching up with friends. I can't wait for him to be retired too (which will be a little while) - then we can spend more time together. We are both easy going and when I write, he listens to music!

I love to create characters who seem real to readers. My first novel was pubished when I hit 70 - so you're never too old to start something new!

I enjoy writing about relationships but always with some suspense or mystery involved too.

It's too easy to get sidetracked and lose your confidence. Stick to your idea, write, and when you have finished, then ask for help and advice, with an understanding that you probably will have to change certain parts.
If you read anything to help, read Stephen King's 'On Writing'! (less)

A magical story set in the Gower peninsula, Wales, following the life of Morgan, who knows something is missing in her life, but doesn’t know what.
Tessy writes believable, flawed characters, and I was totally drawn in by Morgan’s story.
