From a very early age, writing was my passion. When I was ten I wrote my first full book, which my schoolteacher wanted to publish. And in my early twenties, I published a book of short stories with Janus Publishing Company.
When I married and begun raising my children, I used freelance journalism as a channel through which to quench my creativity. And it wasn’t until I was thirty that I finally took a degree, followed by a masters in Social Policy and Criminology.
My love of crime fiction and TV dramas is what inspired my first novel, A Chilling Fate. Maturity, along with the fulfillment I’ve obtained through having a wonderful husband and four fantastic children, has made me more confident as a writer. And I am already close to completing my second crime fiction novel. I still watch the dramas. But now I have my own stories to create.
