I write dark atmospheric suspense and psychological fiction. My novels span psychological suspense (Rachel's Garden and Forgotten Dark), horror suspense (The Entrepreneur, Rosie Shadow, and Dr Glass), and women's psychological fiction (Distorted Days). My influences include the Gothic tradition, Stephen King, Dan Chaon, Susan Hill, and Daphne du Maurier.
My academic background is in both literature and psychology. I have worked in a variety of settings in my professional life, mainly in secondary and tertiary education as both a teacher and project manager. Now, when I'm not running a self-catering business or writing, I love to wild swim and run (well, jog these days). Having spent most of my life in rural Cheshire and Shropshire, I often draw on creepy woodlands, crumbling manor houses, and forgotten places where the past refuses to stay buried.
