I've always known I'd end up being a writer. However, my early writing career was stymied by a complete lack of story ideas. This dearth of ideas lasted for more years than I care to mention, during which time I qualified and worked as a librarian. Eventually, I came up with the story that became my first novel, Out of Time. I have since written a second lesbian adventure novel, The Ganden Gambit and now, my first lesbian romance, Deadline to Love.

When I'm not writing--and let's face it, that's most of the time--I usually have my nose stuck in a book. Other ways in which I very successfully avoid writing are dabbling with watercolour painting, watching cricket on the telly, birdwatching, travelling and playing Angry Birds on my iPad. I have also recently taken up crocheting adorable birds as a way of making some money while I wait for my novels to become bestsellers.
