About

My first children's novel, The Mysterious Beach Hut, was published in the USA in April 2009, but I have previousely had poems and short stories published. I live in Cobham, Surrey, with my husband, Richard. We have 4 children and 6 grandchildren, so children play an important part in my life! As well as writing, I am a PA for my husband's firm of Chartered Accountants and Company secretary to my son's company. I am a member of Mother's Union, through which I work as a volunteer playleader in the Visits Hall of a local 'category B' men's prison. I am involved with my church, love travel, walking and gardening
