More about me

Since I first learned to read, I have loved adventure stories. I have a passion for travel, adventure (and desserts) and through my extensive travel I am fortunate to have been exposed to the arts and beautiful paces and architecture and to learn about historical context. I hope that my love of history and adventure shines through in my first novel, The Chalice of Fortune. 

When I am not reading or writing, I treasure spending as much time as I can with my children (and two cheeky tabby cats). I also have a passion for interior decorating (which would be evident if you could see past my messiness). I also enjoy further learning and have devoted much time to the study of writing and development of new ideas and research for my future books.
