About
I am a teacher of English at a secondary school in Portsmouth; children's writer of paranormal fiction and a student of html.
Also, I am happily married; we share a family of animals: two crazy cats, a beautiful black cocker-spaniel (who is also my partner in crime) and a plethora of fish. Some days the house feels like a small zoo.
I love to walk in the countryside - the local countrypark is my favourite - with my dog; I take a Pilates class and try to fit in the gym when I can. Obviously I am an avid reader (goes hand-in-hand with writing) and always have a book on the go at all times - I love horror, thrillers and books that surprise me.
I follow the premise that the road less trodden is the most interesting...

Story Behind The Book
This book started as a short story written for a University assessment as part of my PGCE course, my lecturer suggested I should try to get published... so here I am.
