About Me

  • A writer of contemporary women's fiction, aiming for the post chicklit gap in the market.   Women of 40+ still have a lot of fun and some very interesting stories to tell and I'd like to be the one to tell them.   I'm currently over 3/4 through the first draft of The Accidental Guru where we meet four long time friends.  

    You can keep up to date on its progress and meet the characters on my blog below and I'd love to receive comments on the work I'm posting here.  

Favorite Books

  • I actively seek out books written for the post-Bridget Jones generation - the women who have stopped chasing Mr Right in kitten heels and who've already had their perfect baby with Mr Right. My only question is, where are all these books? Who's writing thoughtful, witty, insightful books for the 40+ market. Is this why we all turn to reading crime novels? Also love Jane Eyre.

What I'm Reading

  • The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde
