Autorenporträt

I have been a voracious reader of fiction ever since I was a small child. I was determined that one day I would write a novel but the opportunity to fulfil that dream didn't come until I semi-retired. I studied for an MA in Creative Writing, an amazing experience which I will never forget. I have no regrets about embarking on a writing career later in life, I loved my career in medical research and have a lifetime of experiences which I can bring to my novels. My research on improving the treatment of people with diabetes, has given me many invaluable tools: a knowledge about science which I use in my writing, the importance of attention to detail and a love of researching a subject I am writing about. When I am not writing I am gardening, walking in the Sussex countryside where I live or travelling in my motorhome in Europe. My love of gardening creeps into my novels and gardens play an important role in my latest book, The Yellow-Tail Moth. Many of the plants in my garden feature in my novels. To avoid the cold English winters, I travel to Sicily in my motorhome and in the summer visit other parts of Europe, a favourite being the Bavarian Alps. My travels provide me with more inspiration for my novels and while I'm travelling I continue to write.
