After living in various parts of the UK, including Wakefield, York, Derby, and the Yorkshire Dales, I now live on a Narrowboat cruising the canal network. I enjoy reading, writing, travelling, walking, kayaking, watching all forms of motorbike racing and socialising (networking).
At the beginning of my writing journey, I started my blog which tracks the ups and downs of writing. ((I need to mention that my blog posts are usually visited by ‘Brackets’!))
To the books…
My fantasy series, Festival of Time was completed with the publication of Book Three: Battle in November 2022 and now joins, Book Two: Rescue, and Book One: Escape. Click ‘books’ on my website to find out more and follow me on social media for updates – I love chatting with readers and authors.
In 2021 I joined Saga Fiction and now have three stories published on their app; A Christmas Wish, Decisions, Decisions, and A night lost to the past. Power of Nature a thriller/mystery novel is available on eBook. Finding Love, is my latest romance/rom-com novel and is available as an eBook and paperback on Amazon.

Burning Old School Ties, Blood, Sweat and Typewriters and our latest book, Writings on the Walls, Available on Amazon.
In February 2019 I was lucky enough to travel to New Zealand. During my time exploring this wonderful part of the world I kept a journal and this became 187 Kilometres, turn left – which is a guide to our 43-day bucket list adventure. Available on Amazon.
In December 2018; Game of Souls I published my first horror novella. Available on Amazon.
