Biography

I live in Birmingham UK and worked for many years in the public sector. I've spent some happy holidays in Ireland where I became inspired to begin writing my first novel 'The Lion And The Loom'. This has been positively reviewed by bookclubs in Norwich and Birmingham. I researched the historical background with the help of the British Library and the Tower Hamlets Local History Library, both in London UK , where I have relatives.
I'm currently editing a play I've written which is based in 1970's London public sector

Taken in by local people, she is implicated in a murder and sheltered by English settlers before seeking a new life in the East End of London. Set during the Nine Years’ War between England and Ireland, this is a tale of loyalty and love, as well as trauma, tumult and a terrible curse.
