Biography

I always knew I was a writer, even when I tried very hard to be other things.

When I was 35, I decided enough was enough and told myself that if I really was a writer, then I'd better start acting like one. I've written four books since then, three of them Middle-Grade novels. Still Waters is my first full-length adult novel.

I live on the edge of the forest with my husband, two children and two overindulged cats. I really should be French because my body likes to sleep and eat late and I believe chocolate is a breakfast food. Especially if it's paired with pastry.

I'm a lifelong insomniac, but it's worked out OK for me because most of my book ideas come to me in the middle of the night.

I'm currently working on a New Adult novel set in Hawaii.

Smashwords Interview

Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
Maybe not the first one, but I remember some of the early ones. I used to spend my pocket money on notebooks when I was a child, and I would write stories in them. One was about a girl who went on a train to stay with her Grandmother for the summer, and another one was about a family of Alligators.
What is your writing process?
I need to have a spark of an idea first and foremost. Usually, they come to me in the middle of the night, or when I'm just about to fall asleep. It can be something very small such as something that might have happened in a character's past, or in the case of the book I'm writing now, it's the way one of my characters feels about his family legacy. When I start writing I don't plan at all. I just go where the story leads me and ideas and developments come to me as I go.
