I started writing when I was sixteen after being runner-up in a national short story competition, although my first children's book was not published until 1998. After that I began to grow in confidence as a writer and teamed up with an illustrator and we produced some children's picture books. I then wrote some children's novels, and later wrote adult thrillers based on some of my experiences working in Family Law. My last book was published in November 2015 and fulfilled a long-held ambition to write a Christmas fairytale. The book is Twelve Days to Save Christmas and published by Crimson Cloak Publishing. I have two other books with a publisher, but other the rest are self-published and I enjoy having control over my own books. To date I have seventeen published books, and am working on the next.
