About me

I’ve had over 20 years of experience in publishing and bookselling.

I’ve been a freelancer for 15 years for a variety of professional clients (including literary agents, publishers, Reader’s Digest, and literary scouts), and aspiring authors.

I am a regular blogger for the Writers’ and Artists’ Yearbook (www.writersandartists.co.uk) and have run workshops and seminars at a variety of conferences and festivals.

In 2026 I had my first novel published…

Consider The Ravens is a mediaeval murder mystery set on the holy island of Lindisfarne, published by No Exit Press. The second book in the series, Darkness on the Deep will be published in 2027.

I can help you bring your writing to life. As a flexible worker, I can work within tight time constraints, and concentrate on areas that are appropriate to your needs.

A passionate reader, I live in East Anglia with two children, two cats, and one husband.
