My parents gave me books as soon as I was able to hold one and so my love of literature was born. I’ve made up stories since I was a child. I loved to take characters from my favourite books or television programs and make up stories about them or continue existing stories. In fact, if I had ever published them, I’d be in flagrant breach of copyright.

I love all sorts of genres, from historical to mysteries to fantasy. I would say that my books reflect this as I don’t think I could write the same type of story twice. I also love playing around with the unexpected and trying to make sure my books don’t do what similar books in their genre would do.

Away from all things literary, I am an enthusiastic theatre goer. I also play the piano for pleasure and I like to sing when I’m sure no one can hear me. I’m fond of cooking and long walks, and even now am a self-confessed bookworm.
