About me

Originally from Northamptonshire, I now live in rural north Essex with my husband and stepchildren.
I have worked as an editorial assistant in educational publishing, in sales and marketing and more recently as an office manager for an educational products company.

Writing
My debut novel, THE UNRETIREMENT was published in May 2024. GRACIE JENKINS RUNS A MARATHON is hitting the bookshops 11th September 2025.

DOUBLE BOOKED IN CORFU came out in June 2024 and is available to read for FREE with Kindle Unlimited!

For regular updates on the books ahead of publication, including press releases and bonus content, please do follow me on one of the social media channels, links at the top of this page.

I am working towards putting together a monthly newsletter for subscribers - more on that very soon!

I am represented by Kate Nash of The Kate Nash Literary Agency @KNLitAgency In 2020 I was lucky enough to secure a place on their innovative #BookCamp programme, a scheme designed to accelerate the careers of promising new writers.


 

Of course, like most writers, I devour as many books as I possibly can, or at least as many as time will permit!

I read anything from romance to fantasy, from thrillers to historical fiction.
