Biography

I was born and raised in Northern Ireland, near Belfast. I emigrated to Canada in my mid 20’s and started writing there. My daytime job was as a medical secretary to various healthcare professionals, but my spare time was dedicated to my writing. I lived in Canada for 12 years and had almost completed seven novels in a series. After living at home for a year, I moved to the United States and continued my career as a medical secretary. My writing was shelved for just a little while during my time in the States but, since my return to Northern Ireland upon my husband’s retirement six years ago, I have been able to resume my hobby and complete the seventh novel. I currently work with the Education Authority and dedicate as much time as possible to my family and my writing.

Smashwords Interview

When did you first start writing?
My interest in writing started when I was a young girl going through English Language and English Literature classes in school. Although I was never one to enjoy poetry or the classics, I was always, even at an early age, intrigued by a good plot. My characters were dreamed up long before I had a solid storyline. I had always wanted to be a Police Officer but back in the late ‘70s, the Northern Ireland Police Service, the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC), now known as the Police Service Northern Ireland (PSNI) had a height restriction of 5’4” for a policewoman. Unfortunately, I didn’t grow any taller than 5’2”. The older I became, the more disheartened I was at not being able to follow my childhood wishes of being a police officer and eventually I came up with the plan that if I couldn’t be one, then I could at least write about one. Or, in my case, I could write about two policemen and two policewomen.
Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I was born and raised in Newtownards and raised in Dundonald, near Belfast in Northern Ireland. I emigrated to Canada in my mid 20’s with my first husband and while there, started writing. I lived in Canada for 12 years and during that time had almost completed seven novels in a series. After living back in Northern Ireland for a year, I moved to the United States. My writing was shelved for just a little while during my time in the States but, since my return to Northern Ireland upon my second, current, and hopefully last husband’s retirement 6 years ago, I have been able to resume my writing and completed the seventh novel. I currently work full time with the Education Authority and dedicate as much time as possible to my family and my writing.
