I began my writing career in the world of children’s books and have published 4 MG titles as well as a bundle of early readers with Maverick Books.

When I decided to branch out into the world of adult novels, I decided to write murder mysteries and the obvious location for me was the farm where I lived as a child. 

The Malvern Farm Mystery series was sold to Boldwood Books and I have a total of 10 contracted books with them with the final book due for publication in 2028.

I enjoy delivering workshops and author talks at schools and speaking at literary festivals.
