Biography

Books have always been a large part of my life from an early age. All my family were and still are passionate readers, therefore to progress onto becoming an author seemed natural.
Most writers need to search for material or experiences to base their work on, this is were I differ from most writers; to say I have led a colourful, eventful life is possibly an understatement.
Through a number of reasons I have experienced a variety of things such as, being an athletic champion, escaping an abusive marriage, working with young offenders, being a top field designer, a part time actress and model, and also being the victim of a murder attempt.
Many people have suggested that I should one day write my life story, to which I answer "no one will ever believe it is a true story" therefore instead I use my experiences as a base for my novels. It is up to the reader to determine just which part I actually lived.
