About the Author
I live in beautiful Cornwall UK, with a good supply of beaches and moorland right on my doorstep to keep me inspired. I live with my husband, two sons, and our dog Artoo. Despite my location, I neither surf nor sail, but I love walking along deserted beaches and listening to the waves crashing over rocks—you can’t beat the beach in the winter!
I write dark contemporary fiction with a hint of paranormal. These are mostly character-driven stories dealing with the confusion, deceit, surprise, and joys of life. I am endlessly fascinated by the way people treat each other.
Over the years, I’ve won several competitions, had many short stories published in small press journals and online. Highlights include being placed 3rd in the Costa Short Story Award 2015 and being longlisted for the Commonwealth Short Story Prize and Bath Short Story Award in 2018.
I am the author of four short story and novella collections, and my first novel, Grace & Serenity, was published by Vine Leaves Press in July 2020.
