about me

I'm a 60 year old widow with four children and six grandchildren, and I live near Doncaster. I love books and have been writing all my life (not successfully) though I have self-published two books for children with help of a grant from Yorkshire Arts. I have recently completed a novel about a Victorian waif called Lizzie. I have a passion for Victorian & Tudor history and hope one day to write a love story of Elizabeth Tudor( Elizabeth 1st) and the Earl of Leicester.

Hello, everyone. I've re-uploaded Lizzie as due to computer faults, lost it. I now have a new computer so hopefully all will be well. Thank you to all those who have continued to support Lizzie. view book

A lovely story Kaylen, and full of memerable characters. It needs quite a lot of editing, but that doesn't distract from the content. Sure to be a hit with younger readers. Well done and good luck. Backed and on watchlist. Kate Grimes - Lizzie. view book

I'm not really a religious person, Laverne, but I have enjoyed reading your story. It's good that you believe so firmly in your God.

Nice to find a fellow South Yorkie who likes writing, even if you've 'moved over' a bit. I hope you liked Lizzie. It's my f... view book
