“She is a master of suspense, intrigue and holding the reader’s attention” I was born in Gloucestershire, England, right in the heart of the Cotswolds. After a few years, I moved to London and fell in love with the history which oozes through the old stones, and the medieval atmosphere that leaks from the beautiful old buildings. For many years, I researched the 15th century from original sources, and books in the British Museum. I worked there in the Department of Ancient Documents, a place which I adored, full of scrolls illuminated by medieval monks, and hordes of informative parchments. My father was an academic and playwright, my mother was a retired teacher, and my sister was an author of fantasy. I had no other passion than books I started writing. I kept it up and eventually started to write articles and short stories for current magazines and newspapers, and a reviewer for Books and Bookmen. That kept me busy until I married. A husband and three little girls (including identical twins) were a full-time job. Writing again years later, more seriously this time, I wrote full-length books in all my favourite genres. I was accepted by one of the big top 5 publishers, and two of my historical crime/mysteries were published in the traditional manner. However, I found myself disliking the control system. Now, happy and free, I self-publish and enjoy every minute of my writing. I live in Australia, adore the weather, the birds and the wildlife, and live a placid life during the day and a wonderfully exciting one in my dreams at night. I have written fantasy and historical fiction. Very different genres, but all are crime mysteries in one way or another. I have finished my children’s series (Bannister’s Muster series, for middle-grade children), no crime here, but a vibrant mixture of history and fantasy. After this, I am moving onto a series of modern crime mysteries. I will, of course, keep going back to my two loves of history and fantasy. Writing is and always has been my passion, now that I am able to do this full time, I am in my element and life couldn’t be better (a little more sunshine might help though).
