Hello and welcome to my website. 

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. At university, I studied literature and psychology and this combination influences my work.

I used to work in secondary and tertiary education as a teacher or project manager. Now, when I'm not running a self-catering business or writing, I love to walk our rescue dogs 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 wild landscapes where the past refuses to stay buried.
