ABOUT ME
I am a single mum of two, who was lucky enough to grow up in Cornwall, where my interest and enthusiasm for books was born. As a result of being located so close to numerous ancient ruins, thus providing me with the ability to roam and investigate, my inquisitive side got the better of me and my passion for fantasy books and creative writing started to grow.
I have lived all over the UK, including Cornwall, Darlington and Newcastle. My first book began as an interactive bedtime story for my eldest son who, like me, loves anything supernatural.
I write anything and everything that comes to me, but young adult stories are my favourite. I get lost in the stories and I am usually as surprised as my readers by the end result.
My children's stories were written for, and about, my youngest son. During the harder times in life, I have found that writing gives me a release from the stress and often, as with the Danny series, helps others to find a way around their problems.
My only hope is that those who read my work enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it.
I would like to take this opportunity to send a very big thank you to my photographer. Glen, you have an amazing talent. You even made me look good in this picture.
Other contributors
It takes more than just one person to create a great book. While I write and edit everything myself , it would all be for nothing without beta readers, critics and talented photographers.
I started using my own photos as book covers, but soon I discovered I do not really have a talent for taking them, ha-ha. While many of the pictures inside my children's books are my work they would not have been possible without the artistic eye of my mother who is a talented painter and craft artist. Nothing would be possible without her.
My beta readers catch many mistakes before I publish and I am grateful to them. None more so than my youngest son who is my greatest critic. Without his constant badgering I would have more books written, but they would not be of the quality that you, my readers, deserve.
Last, but by no means least, the photographers. I have taken many photos from Pixabay, which I came across quite by accident. While I appreciate the talented people, the covers were still not right.
Finally I decided to jump in and have someone create professional covers. So a big thank you to GetCovers for creating beautiful covers for my books.
Without you my covers would be bland and depressing. Thank you all!
