about me

UPDATE: My book is now here: http://www.abloggersbooks.com/

I'm a freelance writer. I also work as a television supporting artist with shows like Dr Who, Torchwood, Skins and Casualty. In the past, I have been a stage actress and model and even a missionary in my home country of Guyana in South America, and have also had my own call-in radio show.

I now live in Bristol with my husband - a sociologist and published academic writer, and our three young children, but I’ve lived in Paris, London, Alabama and finally Cork City, Ireland where we remained for 6 and a half years. I am also in the process of writing a follow up book to “Sunday’s Child,” called “Fair of Face.”

I’ve had tremendous success publishing popular psychology, and self-healing type articles on the internet and as a separate project, am currently looking to get these works published in book form.

When I'm taking a break from writing my second book, I do freelance writing for two online women's magazines and other web content sites.

I've had a couple of fictional short stories published, and have also written two for an anthology with Authonomy's 'Absolution.'
I am a member of the Writers Bureau, and also manage two blogs.

AUTHOR'S NOTE FOR SUNDAY'S CHILD

To give Sunday’s Child the gift of dialogue, I condensed the things the people around me said over the years. I then used their personalities, the way they spoke, and the tones they used to give them words to ‘speak’ in my story. This is very much like the way you relate the things your mother used to say to other people. You can remember the manner in which she used her hands to speak, the phrases she revisited, and even her tone of voice.
I tried to recreate, to the best of my human ability, the speech patterns and the words for the people included in Sunday’s Child.
