Born in Grantham, I attended school in Newton Abbot before departing for a career in London. Majoring in IT in the 70s, exploring sales, marketing, training and communications along the way, I completed my first career managing major projects. I then embarked on my second career – writing. I wrote Lakeside while relaxing in California’s National Parks. I have since published four books in the Silveries Series: California Dreaming (a novella), The Silver Sting, The Silver Dollar, and The Silver Dagger with the fifth, The Silver Lining, to be released on September 28th.  The Gypsy Killer is a stand alone mystery/thriller. My stories draw on people I have come to care about and places I have known. The characters in my books have their own unique lives. They represent the richness and diversity of life. They are a part of me. I live in Stratford-upon-Avon and naturally love theatre. I now write plays as well as novels and short stories and have been known to ‘tread the boards’ in the theatre! In between times I make time to enjoy and entertain my family and friends, travel, and potter in my garden.
