Bio
I was brought up at the Fox Inn in Lutterworth. For as long as I remember, I wanted to be an actress and writer. I was offered a television role when I was sixteen, but my mother wanted me to have a 'proper' job, so I did a hairdressing apprenticeship. Eight years later, I sold two successful businesses for a place at Drama College and a career as an actress, working in Repertory theatre, the West End, film and television. In 2000, I gave up acting, taught myself to touch type, completed a two-year college course in creative writing and began writing articles for music magazines and presenting radio. After living in London for thirty-six years, I returned to Lutterworth, swapping two window boxes and a mortgage for a garden and the freedom to write - and I love it.
I have written a series of ten novels. The first four books, set in World War Two, introduce the Dudley sisters. Three post-war books follow, and then three mystery, crime and spy thrillers take the Dudley sisters to 1960. Each story stands alone but has links to earlier stories. My last book, Scenes From My Life, in poetry and prose, is a collection of short stories, poetry and non-fiction.
