My psychological suspense novel “Mystical Circles” was published by Blue Lily Press, and my new paranormal thriller “A Passionate Spirit” will be published by Matador on 28 November 2015. I post on my blog weekly. And if you’d like to know more about my new novel, do sign up for my mailing list on my Facebook Page or blog.
As a child I was inspired by Enid Blyton. I started writing adventure stories at the age of seven; the love of writing that her stories first instilled into me has strengthened over the years.
I studied English Literature at Lancaster University, and my first permanent job was as a production secretary with the BBC. Later I lived for nearly five years in Australia. I now live in Warwickshire with my husband David and our two teenage children.
I completed two comic novels before writing Mystical Circles. I’ve always been fascinated by the interaction of different complex personalities, an inexhaustible source of inspiration for a writer!
And my advice to anyone who wants to be a writer? Read a lot, listen to people’s conversations, be observant about the details of your world, and especially about human behaviour and interaction, and persist in your writing, being single-minded to the point of obsession...never give up, always believe in yourself despite all evidence to the contrary and hold out for what you first dreamed of.view less
