about me

I live in North London with my partner of 5 years and have been attempting to write since I could pick up a pen.
I currently work in HR to earn a little extra money whilst trying to pursue that all-impossible dream of seeing my name on a book-spine.

favourite books

Stardust - Neil Gaiman
The Onion Girl - Charles De Lint
Anything by Douglas Adams, Lynda La Plante, Agatha Christie and above all, Terry Pratchett.

When you realise your ex-fiancee is pregnant with your child and half way across the continent, what can you do but follow?


Jeremy Hunt, who discovers that his ex-fiancée Laura has left the country secretly to give birth to his daughter.

In order to find out the truth, Jeremy and Laura’s sister Abigail have to cross Europe in order to catch up and find the baby before she is given away.

Knowing their growing attraction to each other that will only complicate the situation, Abigail and Jeremy find it is a lot harder to avoid the possibility than it is to embrace it.

But Laura and the baby are going to be a part of the rest of Jeremy’s life, something Abigail cannot consider having to deal with. Already the black sheep in the family, she refuses to let the connection between them complicate his search for his daughter or make things worse between her and her family.

The only problem is: Jeremy has other ideas.

Manuscript is complete.

Funny, definitely one for the columns or collection publications. The only thing I would say is, if you're going out clubbing in Essex, what do you expect?! And one critique, when you say on the first section about being too old to go out clubbing, how old is too old? Other than that: cynical, gru... view book

Oh lord, this takes me home again. I can see the pictures you paint of the scenery and it really does feel like going home. There's a forlorn, almost lonely beauty technique to your writing I haven't seen in quite a while. It takes a lot to make a piece of writing you can't 'pick apart' easily. I kn... view book

I was very taken with this, read it almost all the way through in one sitting. Cathy is a realistic character and easy to like, plus her relationship to the kids is very well portrayed. I have to be horrible, really horrible here, and say I'm so glad Christine died. I know that's horrible, but i was... view book

Definitely a good read, couldn't put it down. I LOVE the Irish references and you set the scenes very well; it feels real **underline real several times**. The emotion comes across strong and you can sense Raven's intentions, it's almost laughable that she'd automatically fall in love then go 'OK, i... view book

Please bring the book back fully as soon as possible, I must read it again! Unbelievably addictive to read and the descriptive techniques are second to none. Absolute winner. Emmy view book
