Author. I write books and I read books - that’s what I do.
Watching movies and plays, and travelling - I do that too.

To Wyndham’s Theatre, London, to see Born With Teeth, a brilliant, dynamic, fire-cracker of a play that imagines a relationship between Shakespeare and Marlowe.Terrific chemistry between the actors makes this two-hander an exhilarating piece of theatre. Highly recommended

Autumn is coming and the leaves are turning brown, but it was still warm enough to write in the garden this afternoon.

Today I’m celebrating ten years as a published author! My debut romantic novel, French Kissing, now titled Meet Me In Paris, came out on 15th August 2015! I’ll never forget the thrill of seeing my book in a bookshop in Paris!

For my American friends: I’ve just seen that my dual timeline romance, Rome For The Summer, is currently only 99c, but I don’t know how long for! Go, go, go!

Ten years ago, when she was seventeen, he left her with only broken dreams. Now he’s back.

Should she give her first love a second chance?

My book, Dancing In The Moonlight, at the stage door of a West End theatre. The words carved into the doorframe gave me the idea for the quotes carved above the doors at the Nightingale Playhouse where, in the book, my dancer heroine, Nell, longs to perform.

I live in England. Someone in Australia bought my book. How lovely to think of them reading it on the other side of the world!

A fab weekend working front of house at a local #theatre for a performing arts school production of Fame. Blown away by the student actors’ amazing talent & the maturity with which they conveyed the emotion of the songs. Fab to know that the next generation of #musicaltheatre is in safe hands.
