I am a musician, a wildlife biologist and a writer of songs and stories. Born in Manchester I moved to Liverpool in time to catch the birth of the Mersey Beat. In the early 80s I lived and worked in Heidelberg, Germany and moved to York in 1983 where I now live. I have run a hedgehog rescue centre for 27 years and grow vegetables on an allotment. I have published 7 books as paperbacks and 8 ebooks and am about to publish my 14th novel. I like to write on diverse topics, including gothic and parallel world themes. My latest book, The Dark Mirror, is a crime thriller with a supernatural twist.
