I’m a retired Solicitor of the Supreme Court of England and Wales, a holistic health practitioner, and a teacher of Reiki and various other workshops with a complementary health theme. But my abiding passion is writing.

I live close to the sea in an area of outstanding natural beauty not far from Romney Marsh. I’m very happily married, with two grown-up daughters and a beautiful but lazy Saluki dog.

My ideal way of spending a day is a long meditative walk through the beautiful countryside, breakfast on the veranda with my husband, an hour or two trying to wrestle some semblance of order into a large wild garden, and then to write into the small hours.

I do stop occasionally to meditate, cook, eat, dance and have coffee with friends.
