I was born and raised in beautiful Somerset, growing up with a love of books and writing.The written word in all forms has been my passion for as long as I can remember and my dream of writing as a career has been with me for just as long. Many afternoons as I was growing up were spent writing stories, poems and plays, moving from humour to mystery or romance to farce.It was a dream come true to publish my first book, Family of Strangers, and I'm looking forward to publishing my second.
