Biography

I 'm very lucky to have the indulgence of time and space to enable me to write. I took a sabbatical from work to accompany my partner on his bucket list travels and adventures, and never went back. I really thought I would struggle with all the free time, so decided to write to keep myself occupied. Now writing has consumed my time and I am never sure where we will be or when, hence my novels could be classed 'international' as they may have been written across a few countries. We are still travelling, although we do pop back to the UK for a few months every now and again.

I love the fact that no matter what our age we can use new technology to connect to the rest of the world and enhance our lives. Back in the UK I have my friends and family and with emails, phones, Skype or face-time, we are never out of touch for long. Even my mother at eighty-six uses face-time to catch up with me. I have the world at my fingertips and only twenty-four hours away from anywhere.

Being a 'mature aging gracefully' woman, I feel akin to the problems of aging and relationships. I spent many years on my own before finding my truly remarkable and very patient partner who I happily gave up my whole world for. My stories are about mature relationships with mature people. People who have character and humour, who have a history; people just like us.
I like to call it Hen Lit, Not Chick Lit, but it is not just about falling in love. They are about real relationships.

I hope you enjoy my stories. Please check my web page or social media pages if you would like to contact me. I love emails and try to answer every one as soon as possible.

Smashwords Interview

What are you working on next?
As my head is full of stories I am tending to begin a new book before completing a current one. I am an apprentice learning a craft with no guru watching over my shoulder. Consequently, I am working on the second short story, for The Silver Night Romance Collection, as well as three others. The first book I ever started is very near publication. That Is Touching Ed. The first in the Silver Years Romance Series, This series will follow the story of Abby and Ed, who meet late in life, fall in love and start and new life together. As any mature person will tell you aging and sex can become challenging; therefore this series openly uses age related issues to keep it life like. I am also working on a new collection called The Silver Lining Collection which will contain books with stories of mature women for find themselves, or possibly love, while seeking a new life.
Who are your favorite authors?
I have a great admiration for the classic writers, for example Jane Austin and Charles Dickens, as well as Joseph Conrad and many others. However, I do love Janet Evanovich, Lee Child, Tony Hillerman and many others who can spin a tale and keep me hooked or make me laugh. There are so many.
