After various jobs ranging from veterinary nurse to P A for a fabric designer, I finally decided on a career with a firm of accountants specializing in Insolvency work. I also completed a two year creative writing course at Sussex University and for several years volunteered for an adoptive charity helping people search for birth family members. I'm married with two grown up daughters. Apart from family and friends, I love travelling, wildlife, research, the English countryside, reading, hot summer days and Luca our family British Blue cat.
