Hello and welcome to my website. Here you can browse my prose and poetry, and download a free short story. You can find links to purchase my novels and a list of my other publications in literary journals.

I write dark atmospheric suspense and psychological fiction that explores the shadowy corners of the human psyche and the complex terrain of mental health. 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, 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. I live on a farm in Shropshire with my husband, teenage daughter, and our animals. 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.
