I live in London and always have. It’s a city I would find hard to leave. After a long career as an English teacher—more than forty years, I have returned to my greatest love, writing. I come from the tradition of Victoriana, the world of Dickens, Stevenson and to the poetry of Blake and the Romantics.

Now on my fourth title, my novels, mostly written as novellas, in the genre of literary fiction, are always cemented in place, depicting the impact from the past.

I am also an avid reader of contemporary literature. I love the authors, Elif Shefak, Natalie Ginzburg, Anne Enright, Claire Keegan, Rachel Cusk, and so many more. All novels which draw the reader into the memories of history, place and time.

if I were to be asked what the success of a writer is, I would say, at the point at which the reader becomes fully immersed in the story-telling and that the images that are conjured are reciprocated and kept. Ultimately, to ask questions and to consider a different perspective - an alternative thought process.

When I’m not found writing, you’ll usually find me at Curzon Bloomsbury, my self-adopted home, or invariably on a train to Stratford upon Avon for another RSC performance, with book in hand, of course
