About

I am the ghost writer of ‘Thy Will Be Done … Eventually!’ ‘Tears in the Dark,’ and the author of ‘The Shop on Pilgrim Street.’ I bravely self-published a book called, ‘The Diamond in You‘ and on a good month you might find one of my short stories in a national magazine.

The Senator’s Assignment’, my debut novel, was launched in 2018 and the sequel, ‘The Senator’s Darkest Days’, was launched on the day of lockdown for Covid-19, March 2020.

‘My latest book, and last one in the trilogy is ‘The Senator’s Sons’ and was launched in October 2022.

As my children have now flown the nest, Colin and I decided to settle in the delightful market town of Pickering in North Yorkshire, where long brisk country walks somehow end up in a village tea room, or striding across the beach or pier at Whitby demands a fish and chips at the end of the walk.

I have a mixed bag of training from secretarial work to counsellor/ spiritual director.  I am a Christian and a Methodist local preacher, but I take take speaking engagements for breakfasts – not too early please –  Christian groups and a variety of secular groups.
