Hi! I have been writing for at least twenty-five years, and first published a trilogy on Kindle ebooks in 2015. I love writing! Ask my poor neglected husband (and No. 1 go-to battle coordinator)!

As a wife, mother of two adult children and grandmother (although I also have fur-babies: my daughter's 2 horses and 2 dogs), I have usually written in my spare time after work (as an administrator) but used writing as therapy after an operation for colon cancer in March 2016, and the resulting radio- and chemotherapy. Writing is excellent therapy - it gets you away from the stress and into a better As a result, I have completely reworked a tale I began when my children were small - they are now both over 30. There will be five books in all, but I have begun a sequel, simply because both my husband and primary reader, Archie, want to know 'What Happens Next'? My husband also wants to know 'How It All Began'? So maybe that will get written in time! Since I had an operation in mid-June this year, I have completed Book 5 and edited galore to get the books ready - they will be drip-fed at probably 6 month intervals.

In the pipeline, are two other large tales - I don't tend to be drawn to short stories, I'm afraid. I am currently researching those.

As well as my family, I love hiking - we live near the Peak District in Derbyshire, England - our two cats, gardening with my husband, puzzles and visiting and learning about interesting places - especially industrial archaeology and history.

I am also adding The Raiders of Carthasse to Amazon Paperback - Survivors of Semmeche is now live! I hope you enjoy them! More to follow, for both series.
