Writer, journalist, ex-BBC. First novel out later this year.
“An entertaining, often unnerving story that keeps you reading right through to the unexpected and satisfying conclusion.” Thank you, Ian Nettleton lecturer @writerscentre and Bath Novel winner, for generous words on my debut novel The Candidate’s Husband out Dec 9.

An advance copy of my novel has just landed on my desk. Thanks Stuart @srlpublishing. It’s beginning to feel real. Waiting now for the audiobook version from @bolindaaudio. Both published early December.

Now 3 months to go to the publication of my first novel The Candidate's Husband and somehow it feels even more topical today with the loss of Angela Rayner from the frontbench – a sad day for UK politics. @SRLpublishing.bsky.social @Bolindaoriginals.bsky.social #Womeninpolitics
