About the Author

I live in Cambridge, New Zealand. For the last 25 + years I have worked in the media, radio, TV and film and in 2011 I 'semi-retired' and now I write fulltime. I started writing when I was about 8 and have written professionally and personally ever since. I live with my very intelligent and affectionate cat. I love reading, music of all types, cooking, walking, watching streaming TV and being with family.

My first novel, "The Keeper of Secrets" is published as a Trade Paperback under the William Morrow imprint and also as an eBook.
My second novel "Blood, Wine and Chocolate" is published by HarperCollins and is available as a trade paperback and also as an eBook. It is a murder mystery, full of black humor, great wine and scrumptious chocolate.

My third novel, "Rachel's Legacy" (which is a sequel to "The Keeper of Secrets") was published by HarperCollins as a trade paperback and as an eBook.

The third installment of the Horowitz Chronicles "Levi's War" my fourth book and the last of the trilogy, is also published by HarperCollins and is available as a trade paperback and an eBook.

The first book of the Lochmorland and Romanov saga "The Bear and the Thistle" is now available as an eBook and a print on demand. It features two intertwined families during the first half of the twentieth century, one Scottish and one Russian and covers the years 1917 to 1941. War, shellshock, a flu pandemic, the jazz age and the politics of the 1930s as the world tumbles inevitably towards another war. This one is fought in the skies over Europe and ends in a tragedy that resounds through the hills of Lochmorland. Book two is coming!

I write from the heart and the subjects of my books fascinate me. I spent 7 years researching 'The Keeper of Secrets' and it was a labor of love.
